Honestly don't know why frats won't put their pride aside and do this. There are so many benefits that come with joint venues

1) venues are expensive. Reducing your cost to half will save a chapter a few thousand dollars, easily. Money that can be allocated elsewhere (see below)

2) turnout will be much higher. 150 girls: 50 guys is great for frats but 250:100 is even better. Lower ratio but the vibe and atmosphere will be way better. Girls will enjoy themselves more

And in terms of planning, frats purposely avoid having venues on days other frats do. Girls then plan on a couple they want to go to. So having a joint venue will have a lot of girls come that normally wouldn't have

Also allows frats to socialize with one another and allow both of them to share relations. Literally there's no negative

3) using the saved money can be used towards more brotherhood retreats/semi formals/exchanges/parties. Recruitment/rushing could be better etc

Some frats that could benefit from joint venues

Pike/sigma pi
Sigep/sigma pi
Sigep/sigma chi
Sigma chi/Fiji

Whoever acts on this first has a chance to dramatically improve their chapter. Spending near 7-10k on a few hours is dumb when you have the ability to spend half without any compromise in fun/experience

very true

That's definitely something to consider. Just not sure if a second frat adds significantly more risk/liability. If the frats can operate responsibly by themselves I don't see why they couldn't in this case. As for the girls, I'd say make it exclusive to Greek and (actually) exclude all GDIs. sorority girls know how to handle themselves, are actually held to standards unlike gdis, and have sisters that will look out for them.

This already significantly reduces the risk since randoms won't be attending. Plus it's good for Greek life as it promotes interelations as well as exclusivity.

Whatever two frats quit being scared and do this will be progressives and will boost their standings. 3-5k saved is an extra semi formal, brotherhood retreat, AND weeklong exchange in one quarter.

Now imagine pitching to PNMs that every quarter you will have: 1 venue, 2 retreats, 3 exchanges, 1 semi formal per quarter.

Definitely helps when you know your dollar will get you more.
