Yeah, the two organizations are still somewhat linked (send reps to each others conventions, some society and fraternity chapters are friendly, etc), but the society has to call ourselves a society (not that I have a problem with that!).
Anyway, hi! I'm also in Alpha Delt! It's so cool to see another society member on the board, I've been the only one for a while.
I'm from one of the older/bigger chapters. Obviously, we already have a much larger established base, reputation, and a gender balance that makes recruiting guys not really a problem. But here are some of the Rush events we've used that tend to attract a lot of guys:
--Video game nights are definitely good. Super Smash Bros is big on our campus, as is rock band.
--Board games also work for us, but make sure you have some of the more strategy intense ones (I don't know what you're doing now). Cutesy board games don't attract guys, but games like Risk, Settlers of Catan, etc. do (or at least they do on our campus). They are also a good way to get to know new people, since you're sitting there playing a game for a LONG time.
--Casino/Poker night! Our campus doesn't allow us to give out prizes (because that would make it gambling? IDK, it's stupid), but if you can, that's even better.
--Open mics (poetry+music): In line with our mission, and attracts just as many artsy/music-y guys as girls, at least for us. People like to perform.
--Outdoor events like capture the flag or flag football or ultimate frisbee.
--Definitely sports watching events. Any of the big games, especially (super bowl, world series, etc).
--Movie nights, as long as the movies have mass appeal (Animal House is always good, since it's based on an ADP chapter :P).
--Ice cream sundaes works for us because people like free food, but IDK, maybe it dos come off as girly if you aren't already really established?
