Icebreakers for tame sorority parties

Let’s be honest; the media has a somewhat skewed view of what many sororities are. If you and your sorority don’t necessarily sleep with every guy on campus or do a wild kegger every other weekend, that’s fine. But you still want to have fun! Whether you’re in the mood for a quieter party that harkens back to your childhood sleepover years or even a fancy dinner party complete with costumes and fancy snacks just for fun, there are plenty of fun things you can do to add a little extra. of life to your party. Here are some icebreaker ideas for your next sorority party:

• Play “Two Truths and a Lie.” This is a fun game when you have people who can tell great stories and who also have some pretty wacky stories from real life. Ask everyone in the room to write their name at the top of a piece of paper, and then ask them to write two things about themselves that are true and one thing that is a lie. Obviously they need to be mixed up so it’s not automatically obvious what order they’re in.

You can designate a reader to tell everyone’s truths and lies, or you can have each girl read her own, which is more interesting because then you can have body language that helps you discern which ones are truths and which ones are lies. Each time someone reads, he reads all three statements and the group has to guess which one is the lie.

• Play charades. This old classic can be adapted to your sorority or school with different tracks. If you want something that more people can easily get into, you can try Pictionary, as more people tend to do things like drawing rather than things like acting without words.

• Play Truth or Dare. If you really want to go back to your childhood days, treat yourself to a game of truth or dare. It might be a good idea to lay down some ground rules first, especially if you’re playing in a large group of girls with a few people who don’t know everyone. Everyone will feel more comfortable knowing that you won’t be pressured into doing anything completely self-deprecating or revealing your deepest secrets!

• Cook dinner together. This is not a game, but it can be one of the best icebreakers. If you’re not planning a party for more than five or ten people, everyone should go into the kitchen and prepare a complicated meal together. Level up Frank Sinatra, who makes all cakes rise better and all wines taste twice as good, and have fun experimenting with new foods and flavors. The conversation will flow as your hands work, and you’ll probably have a much better time than you thought possible.
