OK, I'm just randomly throwing things out there...
Would You Rather : Over 200 Absolutely Absurd Dilemmas to Ponder (Paperback)

If you're arranged in small groups, this could be a really fun ice breaking activity.
Here's a REALLY fun activity, but I don't really have a name for it. It's kind of like a Taboo race
-Have people write a list of 10 things, they could be any ten things, people, places, books, movies, etc. etc.
-Divide everyone into two groups
-Separate the groups into two different rooms, or far enough away where they can't really hear/see the other group well.
-Pick a list, the author of this list will stand about half-way between the two groups and serve as the moderator.
-Each group picks one person to go up to the moderator and view the first item. That person then rushes back to the group and uses actions and speech (without saying the item or any part of the item name) to get the group to guess the item.
-The member of the group who correctly answers then races up to the moderator to get the next clue, then races back to her group to repeat.
-The first group who gets through all the items wins.
(This may be WAY too hectic for a Recruitment activity, but it is SOO fun, I had to post it)
College-specific version of Taboo?
Make up your own cards with College/Greek/Regional words on them and a corresponding list of words NOT to use while trying to get your group to guess.
Categories
-Ask everyone to stand up and then to walk around; explain that you will announce a category (favorite color, home state, major, etc.) and that participants should then quickly organise themselves into smaller groups, based on the category to which they belong.
-Once everyone is organised into their groups, ask each group to identify itself.
-(Optional) Make a brief comment or ask each group a question.
-Allow participants time to say hello and mingle/chat with each other when the smaller groups are formed.
I Have Never/ I don't
-Everyone stands around and holds up both hands and all fingers
-Take turns going around the group. Each person will say something they have never done ("I've never been to Europe", "I've never had a dog as a pet", etc.)
-Every time someone says something that you HAVE done, put one of your fingers down.
Hope these help!
