Improving sorority relations for mixers

[Phi Sig Girl]

I know for my sorority we like to plan our calender a semester ahead (so in the last month of the Fall semester we plan out our whole spring semester calendar). If you contact the social chairs early enough then they don't have the excuse of being "too busy".

I don't like working with the frats on my campus because they would contact me wanting to do a mixer but not have any ideas or wouldn't help at all. So when contacting them make sure you have at least an idea of what you would like to do and actively help in the planning.

Like some people have mentioned before serenading is a good way to get the sororities more interested in mixing with you. Especially if you do it for their founder's day or charter day.

Hang in there. When I first joined there was one frat that we didn't want to mix with or when we did most of the sisters wouldn't show up. But now we like them better than the other one.

That's encouraging!! So do you think it's best to start reaching out now just to discuss ideas for the fall?

Also what's an idea for a mixer that wouldn't be too intense for having one for the first time?

Grunge. Play lots of Pearl Jam and everyone wears flannel. (Skip the heroin though...lol)

Yes. Now would be a perfect time to get in contact with them. I personally like the My Tie event. It's an easy way to get to start to get to know people better. But something with games and activites is a good way to get people to interact with each other.
