Rush Ideas

AOX81 · #1 06-12-2002, 09:07 AM

I have done a search and I haven't come up with what I am looking for. I'm helping the girls get some stuff together over the summer so they will be ready when school starts back up again in the fall and of course we are looking for new ideas.

At my school there are 3 sororities (2 national, 1 local). Obviously my sorority is the local but we rush with the NPC sororities and follow NPC guidelines during Rush. Since we are the only sorority with a house we hold all of our Rush events at school.

We have the following nights:
Information Night, Four Rounds of Events/Parties, and Preference Night

Information and Preference Night are always done exactly the same for us so we do not need any new ideas for those events. We are in need of new ideas for the other four nights.

Round 1 is usually an icebreaker and lasts about 20 minutes...no food, no decorations.
Round 2 is usually 25 minutes, no food, no decorations
Round 3 is usually 30 minutes...food and decorations allowed
Round 4 is usually 35-40 minutes...food and decorations allowed

I'm sure we will use a couple of old ideas but for some reason no one can come up with anything NEW!!

Please HELP!

Why don't you tell us what you have been doing so we don't offer suggestions that have already been tried.

Last year we did a Harley Theme throughout rush.

A couple of years ago we did:
Get to know the sisters of AOX (icebreaker, played Jenga)
Club AOX (dressed up in "bar" clothes)
Around the World with AOX (had various foods, decorations, etc.)

We have also done:
Mexican Fiesta
Under the Sea (ugh...I hate this one)
The Wonder Years (50's theme)
Casino Night
All I need to know I learned in AOX
70's theme
80's theme
Lip Service-Kareoke
Pajama Jammy Jam
Greek Geeks
Disney Theme (I dressed up like Pocahontas

)

That's all I can remember right now.

Its hard to think of new ideas. They get played out so much.

We usually do the introductions the first time.
Then after that we try to do a craft or something so we get to interact not just sit there. We decorated frames one time, tyed bandana's, etc. so it not just talk
