Rush on a budget
I'm my fraternity's recruitment chair for the fall, and I need ideas for a low-budget rush. We have NO money- my budget is going to be about $200 for the whole thing. We're a poor bunch of guys- most of us are putting ourselves through school, working 30 or 40 hours a week during the school year already. So I need to make this work cheap.
We also have zero support from our IFC. We have the most informal of informal rushes- every house does whatever it wants or can afford, advertises however it can, and issues bids to whomever. There's no coordination at all. I know that probably sounds like paradise to some people, but it seriously tips the scales in favor of the houses with ready cash.
So I need some suggestions for events we can hold. We will be in a much nicer house in the fall, an old Tudor with a volleyball court and a halfcourt out back. And our reputation on campus is good, among students and faculty. So we're not entirely without assets. But when I hear about chapters that are dropping a couple grand on opening weekends, I really start to twitch.
Thanks ahead of time!
