Recruitment Events?

[dunbar26]

Anyone have any good ideas for recruitment events. At my school we have 365 recruitment so we usually have a lot of events throughout the first month or two of classes to build up a solid pledge class then slow down until the spring rolls around.

I'm just tired of doing the same events. We usually do bags, bbq, sand volleyball, bowling $0.25 game nights, mini golf every once in a while, tail gating a couple times in the fall but thats about it. Anyone have any new fresh ideas that kids are going to really going to get into?

Anywhere near a lake? My chapter's big "main" rush event was called Watersport Weekend.

A Weekend During the Summer (but you can do it whenever):
- Use a brothers lake house.
- Brothers with boats would bring them. Rent if needed (boat/jet ski).
- Bring beer and bbq for everyone.
- Invite as many incoming frosh as possible. They'd ride together, or catch rides with brothers from their area.
- We'd start talking it up with girls early and get them interested. Make a t-shirt & koozies, that always got them fired up.


By the end of the weekend the majority of our fall class would be completed.
