Good advice ztafromuk.
Just a few additional comments. Some of this may already have been considered.
Rush isn't until Monday, August 25th so the Olympics should be over by then. So instead of the Olympics, have a baseball game on in the background.
And I want to reiterate that any activates that you might have planned for outside, be sure that they can be moved indoors. Or at lease have some backup for indoors only. Cause it could rain. And speaking of rain, are y'all allowed to put up party tents in the quad? Even if it isn't necessary (i.e. no rain), it gives a territory or definition to your outdoor events. As I recall, there isn't that much space in the quad so this might be important to consider if other fraternities rush out of any of the other sorority houses as well. And if you haven't already, maybe get some Tiki lamps (torches) and fill with bug repellent. It can get nasty outdoors and if you are having outdoor events, you don't want the rushees being bitten by mosquitoes.
Finally, some "off the wall" things I've seen over the years. They can be hit or miss, so take them as you will. I've seen girls doing the hula-hoop outside of rush parties. Frankly, it had nothing to do with anything per say. However, a couple of girls "innocently" gyrating outside of the house sure as heck got guys to drop in. Another was a giant "wheel of fortune" thing (not sure what they are called) that was lit up. Everyone won a "prizes". Things that anyone would get by being there. Such as "Free Food", "Conversation with an ABC", "House Tour". On the surface, really lame stuff. But again, it worked in getting guys interested in stopping. Remember, it is a free for all so you first got to get them to stop at your party.
Best of luck and Go Cats!
