Need activities for Rush

[33girl]

Skip the margaritas, unless they're virgin. The poster who replied is a member of a local sorority and her group's requirements are NOT the same as the ones that NPC groups must follow (I assume you are either an ASA or AST).

For that matter, I would skip the manicures as well, as some people don't like being touched, even for a manicure. Also, you would have the issues of disinfecting all the equipment or buying lots of disposable stuff, which would negatively impact your budget. The last thing you need is for someone to say they got a fungus at the Alpha Sig rush party.

Try something like a Hollywood movie premiere theme instead. It's more a feeling that can continue throughout the party rather than activities that will have to start and stop (I assume the rushees don't stay there for the whole 2 hours).

Also, stop thinking of rush as only one two-hour party. Rush is 24/7/365. Make connections with women now and they will be more inclined to rush and look at your group positively in the fall. This is very important since you're going to be losing so many members. Do you have an Assistant Recruitment Chair office or a Recruitment Committee? She/they should assist you rather than your taking on this responsibility alone.

I cannot agree more with this post, particularly the ongoing nature of rush. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. 365 days a year. Make a friend, and make that friend a sister. Get at least one sister in the chapter to help you with planning and implementing. If you try to do this all by yourself, you'll get more frustrated than you already are.

I do like the Hollywood movie premiere idea. Think red carpet. Think of talking to the PNMs about seeing their names "in lights." I could go on for a while with ideas for that theme, so if you'd like some feedback, feel free to PM me, and I'll be glad to help.
