"Speed Dating" Recruitment Ideas

Yeah, I've never understood exactly how the campus came up with their set of rules. However, one of them is no frills, which don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. We will probably be doing an event like this in more of a conference type room, one that can be big enough to do a circle of desks. You raise a good point about having more potential new members than sisters, which could very well happen because we are a small chapter.

I also thought it could be interesting to have it turn into some type of contest maybe??? Have people fill out cards when they meet people, and then do a kind of trivia thing at the end??? Don't know if that would really work out though.

I think you'd have to make some kind of little game out of it, or it could look like a string of interviews to the rushees rather than a chance to get to know everyone. Maybe you could have different questions per station. Maybe you could even play musical chairs with sisters and PNMs getting up and scurrying around until the music stops and you talk to whoever is next to you. Having sisters sit at desks in a circle while PNMs get up and move down the line gives me a bad feeling. Think this through really well before implementing it.
