We do formal dinners with speeches for rush, but never with a sorority. And games just seem out of place after a formal dinner to me.

I agree with this.
Although it has fallen out of practice, Alpha used to do this a hundred years ago, and it always had a bit of a formal program to it. No more than five speakers -- and three will probably do: President, Pledgemaster, and Alumni President (or other notable alum).
