Spring Rush
Our Spring Rush is extremely informal compared to fall Rush, which is huge and formal and organized. We cook out at the house and have "open house" every night for the week of rush. The key is member participation! Get a bunch of guys to the house and everybody have fun, play games, whatever. Rushees will want to be where the fun is. Girls at the house never hurt either. Don't just stay at the house though. After the cookout time and stuff start to wind down, different members take different rushees and go do something. Play poker, go clubbing, drink, watch some sports on TV, whatever - build relationships.
The real key to Spring Rush, is rushing all during the fall. Every party is a rush opportunity. Also, spring is a great time to rush Football players who didn't have time in the fall.
After bid day, we have a couple of weeks to give "open bids." We tell all of our guys who accepted bids to bring appropriate friends to the house that they would want to be their pledge brothers, but maybe didn't know about rush or didn't have time... This gives us a whole new crop of guys to choose from.
I hope that this helps.
