Not having a house is perhaps our biggets liability as a chapter during recruitment. To make up for it we rent rooms in our student centre for our recruitment events and preference party. Other things that are more secret we take turns having out our houses, cottages etc.
Since the AOPi chapter at our school has a house we make sure that it's in the panhell rules that all parties must be hosted on campus so that there is no unfair advantage.
We're careful to choose rooms that aren't really classroomy, for instance there is a coffe bar that has comfy couches and is a really cool atmosphere that we use when we can. When we have to use classrooms we spend extra time on the decirations to make it seem more welcoming and less like a classroom.
Last year I foulnd that things that worked the best were, lots of fabric to cover the tables, candles or little table lamps instead of the harsh overhead lights and girls brought bean bag chairs or other comfy chairs and blankets to use when we did stuff like watch a movie or philanthropy stuff that required sitting.
