Rush event ideas

[AOE2AlphaPhi]

A chapter at our school takes PNMs to go-carts, which is always really successful. Another chapter rents out the boys and girls club's gym and set up a really intense game of dodgeball with mats and tables to hide behind and music and strobe lights to give it a video game-like kind of atmosphere. The chapter provides white t-shirts and each team decorates theirs with their team name. It's very successful too.

I suggest not doing any of these ideas.

I understand, yes they are good ideas but fraternities on my campus get made fun of for doing this sort of thing, and it turns rushees off. It's different elsewhere, so if it's okay at your campus, continue to do it.

Do Cigar Nights...I'd suggest cookouts like Phi Gam said. Lot of beer, invite alot of girls, and enjoy the outdoors.

The OP said that his rush was IFC DRY rush. Are you suggesting his org should break those rules?

A driving range is a good one. If the rushees can't play golf for whatever reason you can hang out in the clubhouse.

Dry rush can mean different things to different campuses perhaps.

Arkansas' dry rush would mean that you can't drink during the actual rush process (the parties and so forth), but at different rush events you can. Semantics, really.

Even if it is "dry", I suggest bringing a handle of whiskey to anything.
