Good ideas for a student club event?

So I'm one of the freshmen reps for the chinese student association at our university and one of our main jobs is to come up with a social event where we (hopefully) attract lots of people to come and just chill. One of our ideas -and probably the one we're going to use- is an ice cream social. The thing is, I feel like an ice cream social wouldn't bring in a ton of people. Ive discussed the idea with the other freshman reps and board members and they do agree that it may be a little bland, but its the best we could come up with given the current conditions (Slush like environment where we live rn). Also, we have to keep the budget small. Or preferably small, as we have to come up with the funding. Some ideas we've already considered, but thought would fail, are hot pot/potluck, game night (poker, mahjong, etc, but another org already did that), movie night, cupcake/cookie decorating, renting an arcade (expensive most likely), bowling (hassle and slightly expensive to rent buses), snow games (but the snow is melting...), and dodgeball.

Any ideas of engaging and fun activities? We have to have our idea set by sometime this or next week.
