hmm...
 
Just a minute ago I heard people making strange noises outside, so I looked out only to see about 10 cars drive by with people wearing white face masks of some sort and making calling noises & arm gestures. I'm pretty sure this was some kind of pledging or initiation thing for an NPHC sorority, because I've heard one or more of them making different calls like that at Greek gatherings. I'm curious as to what they were doing (unless it's something secret). Anybody know?

Maybe they were mocking those fraternities who had on blackfaces.

hmmm indeed
 
why don't you ask one of them? :confused: Cuz think about it...what are the chances that someone who knows exactly what you're talking about reads/post to GC?

But, I'm going to GUESS :rolleyes: that they were on their way to or from their coming out show (the first step show a line (pledge class) of NPHC greeks do to announce their new membership).

Ohhh okay that makes sense because I heard there is a step show going on this weekend.

More than likely...
 
More than likely it really means nothing. Fraternities sometimes get the idea into their minds that certain things would be funny if they were done. Our house lives by that. Thats why we consistantly do stupid things like the white mask thing. I bet it went something like this "Wouldn't that be funny if we drove down the street and wore these white masks and yelled out the window. People would be so confused". These things happen all the time in our house. Another way to tell if is a step show or having something to do with ritual, or something they do every year: Were they dressed up or just in normal clothes? If they were dressed up, it is definately something that will happen every year. if not, its most likely they were just pullin a prank.

I couldn't tell if they were dressed-up, b/c they were standing up out of a sun-roof. The following night (or morning at like 2am) some girls were dropped off by a car in front of the dorm & they were dressed normally but jumping up & down with excitement & giving their calls, so I assume they either won at the step show, just got initiated, or both.

No Idea Really
 
Yeah, I have no idea either. I wouldn't look too much into it though. Probably a fraternity thing. There aer a lot of things fraternities do that may look wierd to others not involved.
