Our members go on a fun outing during Spirit Week at a water park or something like that to just get to hang out with each other.
We have spirit breaks during the week that our competitions between rotational groups. Limbo contest, new cheer, hula hoop the longest. They win fake dollars that they can spend on ADPi merchandise for themselves or one of the new members.
But the best preparation we have for crecruitment besides all the workshops is a practice with the Delta Gammas on campus.
We run through our open house round and rush them and then switch sides and they rush us. Afterwards all the women join together to give each other constructive feedback. It is great practice and a good panhellenic activity.
The KD's and EK's copied us this last year and have started doing the same thing.
I would recommend doing this with anyone on campus. Either ask a struggling chapter to participate or a group that can help you get better if you are struggling. We started this by asking Delta Gamma when they were new and had not been through recruitment before as actives. They are now (less than 4 years) as strong as any chapter on campus and have developed good recruitment tools from the beginning.
