A One Day Rush

I've got a question, At my school all the frats/sorors get one open house which takes place in oct , and one day for rush that takes place in nov, both of which are dry, and pledging doesnt start till the beginning of january.

My question is, well Open house is pretty well set as we're basically gonna open the house and have pizza and soda and crap, But we are low on ideas for rush this year. In the past we've tried the ESPN Zone, Mini golf, Pool, etc and we are trying to think of somthing that is more unique, impressive, fun, and still partly cost effective. So if you had only one day for rush, what do you think would be the best idea?

Try to find an activity where brothers and rushees have the opportunity to talk and meet alot of people. Mini-golf is ok because you can put together teams of rushees and brothers but the problems is, people may not meet others outside of their team. What about a casino night? Have a few brothers run different tables and give the rushees and the rest of the brothers some monopoly money or chips to play with.

I'm confused about one thing, if rush is two days in October and November but pledging doesn't begin until January, when do the rushees get their bids?

*sigh* i wish our school wasnt so screwed up. Well open house for us is actually in 3 weeks, which is like pizza and soda at the house, rush will be in november, and sometime in early december we will do Unofficial rush, which is kinda secret as far as the school goes, but its basically a non dry rush, anyway we submit our bids like the week before finals, then when people come back from christmas break they have thier bids in thier mail box's, they then have like a day and a half to turn them in to the dean of students office and at the end of that tuesday we go down and pick up a list of people who recieved thier bids. It sucks because between november rush and january starting there is a HUGE down time for people to decide they don't want to do it or get talked out of it.

As far as the mini golf thing, when we did it in the past we would play mini golf then meet up as a large group and get pizza and stuff. The reason we might not want to do a casino night is simply because our president wants to do something that will impress them and probably something that costs money. Plus we want to try and do our rush away from our house. but its not a bad idea.

a coffeehouse setting
lots of candles and couches and comfortable chairs to sit in
