Yeah Fuzzie's idea sounds very similar to what I went through spring semester last year. We had open house... where you learned the rules.... and you met each org. Each org. then had a party you could go to every night for three days. You chose which ones to attend or not attend and they could be off campus. My chapter went to dinner one night, did a philanthropy of card making combined with movie night, and an ice cream party. It was a lot more relaxed, and def. let the chapter's personality show through a little more because you were hanging out with these woman in the way you would if you were part of the sisterhood already, going out to dinner, hanging out watching videos etc. There was no bidmatching or invitation round, and at the end of the week girls could receive bids from multiple organizations, which made it VERY hard sometimes on PNMs. NPC still had the no contact rules in place as well as no bids, or promise of a bid before bid day... ( I know my friend went through something similar but orgs. could give bids before the end of the week.) I'm still not convinced about how well a system like this would work at a large greek school though. The idea of formal and the way it's set up is to keep all the NPC sororities alive by letting each get at least some members. If it was more every org. for themselves, some of the "unpopular" houses might cease to exist, because girls would just go to "the one" everyone wants, and if they got dropped never think about joining another house.
