need creative ideas.... i'm far from creative

[rollthedice]

Hi everyone!!
So basically I was wondering if you guys could help me out... I am trying to think of fun, cheap things I can do with the active sisters in the house to get to know each of them individually. I already baked with two of them and am planning on making collages from magazines and doing dinner with another, but I'm so uncreative I can't think of other fun things to do...

I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for things that could be fun AND help me get to know the active girls better...

Thanks =)

Not to be creepy, but if you google "cheap date ideas", there are some ideas you could adapt.

I don't know where you are, but I'd guess that your U has an art museum or gallery or something that you could visit.

Board game night.

Hit the gym together.

You don't have to be too creative to bond with someone. I think it happens naturally when sharing an experience.

It could be playing a board game, talking a walk, doing laundry, baking brownies, shopping for shoes, doing one another's makeup or hair, getting a manicure, cleaning up garbage on campus... do you see where I am going? It's those unexpected moments where you learn about another person's likes, dislikes, thoughts, dreams, history, plans.

You might also try asking people what they like to do, and try something new. Ask them if you can join them the next time they go ziplining/to the aquarium/to an open mic night/etc.

I love that you are reaching out to your sisters. It shows that you are interested in them, and that can make a person feel really good. Even if you don't end up BFFs with most of them, chances are, you'll find something in common - your new concert buddy, study partner, fellow football junkie, etc.



Yay for you!!!

board games can be fun! especially ones like pictionary.

but so that it doesn't seem like a forced date, I would ask for help on a project. like "Can you help me bake cookies for PR week to give to professors/ the fraternities?/ greek office"

FWIW, we had a Scrabble game after dinner each night, and everyone was welcome. We also kept a puzzle set up in a corner, for the shy. You'd be amazed how easy it is to bond over puzzles.

thank you so much for all of your ideas so far! they're great! Most of the girls in my pledge class are good friends with a lot of the actives so there are times I feel a little left out, but I decided not to sit around and whine about it, but to go and get to know the girls better....
