Are you looking to add some excitement to your next sorority event? The right activities can transform a simple gathering into an unforgettable experience that everyone will be buzzing about for weeks. Get ready for some fun ideas that will bring your sisters together in the most memorable way. Check out these seven fantastic activity ideas that can be tailored for any sorority occasion.
1. Glamorous Cocktail Party
A cocktail party is a perfect way to celebrate sisterhood in style. With CHEERS bar and lounge rentals in Charleston, you can set the scene with a colorful bar setup, high-top cocktail tables for easy mingling, and plush lounge seating like velvet sofas and tufted armchairs that invite guests to relax and chat. Add a few low coffee tables, and you have the perfect combination for a chic and comfortable gathering.
You can even set up a DIY mocktail station for underclassmen or anyone who prefers non-alcoholic options. Add on-theme plate rentals for canapés and appetizers, and you’ll have a fun and sophisticated event.
2. Outdoor Picnic Brunch
Charleston’s stunning gardens, like Hampton Park or White Point Garden, make the perfect backdrop for a cozy picnic brunch. You can create a charming setup with rustic wooden tables decorated with linens and napkins that match your sorority’s colors.
For a relaxed vibe, scatter picnic blankets and oversized pillows for a more casual seating option. Add wicker baskets filled with pastries and fresh fruit, and don’t forget the finishing touches—plates, flatware, and glasses, all available through CHEERS event rentals in Charleston, SC. It’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors, bond with your sisters, and make the most of a sunny Lowcountry day.
3. DIY Crafting Workshop
Add a hands-on, creative touch to your sorority event with a DIY crafting workshop. Set up long tables with crafting supplies for making items like painted canvases, flower crowns, or personalized tote bags. Rent tables large enough to hold all the supplies—paint, brushes, ribbons, and stencils—and keep things comfortable with cushioned chairs for a more casual vibe.
A crafting event brings out everyone’s creative side and gives your sisters a memorable keepsake to take home.
4. Sisterhood Game Night
Game night is always a winner, especially when it’s packed with various games to keep everyone engaged. Set up dedicated stations for board games like Codenames or Settlers of Catan, and card games like Uno or Cards Against Humanity. For more interactive fun, create a charades or Pictionary corner with space for everyone to sit and cheer each other on.
Add snack stations with candy, chips, and drinks to keep the energy up, and consider a fun twist, like hosting a game tournament with small prizes for the winners. With the right setup, a sisterhood game night can be full of laughter and friendly competition.
5. Movie Under the Stars
With an outdoor film screening, transform your sorority event into a magical movie night under the stars. Choose films perfect for the occasion, like Legally Blonde, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, or Pitch Perfect, for a fun, sorority-friendly lineup.
To complete the experience, bring in a vintage popcorn machine for a nostalgic touch and serve freshly popped popcorn along with classic movie snacks like Twizzlers, M&Ms, and Milk Duds, as well as a selection of sodas.
Decorate the area with twinkling fairy lights or lanterns to add a soft glow that makes the night feel extra special. It’s the perfect way to relax, bond, and enjoy some favorite flicks with your sisters.
6. DIY Spa Day
Treat your sorority to a day of relaxation with a DIY spa day. Start by setting up different spa stations: a manicure and pedicure area with nail polish, files, and hand lotions; a facial mask station with options like clay, sheet masks, or homemade avocado masks; and a relaxation corner with aromatherapy diffusers, essential oils, and calming music.
Create a serene environment with soft lighting, candles, and plush seating rentals like tête-à-tête sofas or cushioned armchairs for everyone to sink into while they wait their turn. Add personal touches like individual spa kits for each sister, including mini bottles of lotion, face masks, and fluffy socks they can take home.
Make the day extra special by providing herbal teas, cucumber water, or fruit platters to snack on while everyone enjoys a little pampering.
7. Brunch and Learn
Elevate your sorority event by hosting a Brunch and Learn, where education meets a delicious meal. Invite guest speakers or alumnae to share their insights on topics like career development, personal branding, leadership strategies, or even mindfulness and self-care.
Pair the learning with a delicious brunch menu like avocado toast, fresh fruit bowls, and refreshing mimosas. Decorate the tables with fresh flowers and provide notebooks and pens for guests to jot down notes. This combination of learning and bonding over brunch creates a fun experience that fosters valuable connections and lasting inspiration.
