please help with my rush skit
 

Hi--
I am new to this...but it seems like a really great resource.
I am in charge of the "outsides party" which is the 3rd day...and we need to have a 10-15 minute skit. Two ideas that we have right now are a middle eastern (think aladdin) theme and a 50's theme. Now, before i go any further, I need to tell you that my chapter has a bit of an image problem. We have the most amazing girls on campus (which is what everyone says once they get to know us), but we really don't come off well during rush. We need our theme to be fun, yet sophisticated. Classy, yet sexy. There are 4 other chapters on our campus. One does an under the sea theme, one does a flapper theme, one a clue theme, and the other an MTV theme. So, we have our two options, and we want to stand out, but I don't want to stand out TOO much. With the middle eastern theme, it's be a I dream of DG type thing...with three wishes, and the third being for her to be a DG. We haven't really thought about the 50's theme too much. Whatever we decide though, we need to come up with a way to uniquely dress the chapter, nametags, the skit itself, and a drink (including way to serve it)...I think the middle eastern theme could be really cool, but I think there's a high possibility it could be tacky and not come together. Oh yes, and we have a $350 budget. Another idea we have is something city related or new york like (since we already have come decorations), but we cannot think of any skit!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Rush Idea
 

Hi! You might want to do a travel thing that incorporates where all of your members are from? You could make it like they are exiting from a ship and lei them (make sure you get the lei's back on my campus, you could get a rush infraction if they keep it). If you could make each corner a city or part of the world. Try and convey the message that you all have lots of outside interests that include seeing the world. We used talk about which members are studying abroad and what crazy road trips we've taken. Just an idea! Good luck!

Hey... I'd really suggest NOT doing the 50's theme... two of the other sororities did it on our campus this year, and I was NOT impressed. The I dream of Jeanie thing could work, though... sounds like a good idea. I like the travel theme as well, but I love the hawaiian theme, anyway... Sorry I can't be of more assistance... I'll try to think of something else.:-(
