So...last night was day one....Game Day. What an interesting evening. Let me set the scene....there are 5 AZD's and 7 for the other NPC, a smattering of alumna from both groups.....no letters....everyone was "supposed to be" anonymous!
and 16 PNM'S!!!!!!! OMG!!!
In a year and a half, I have NEVER seen so many women on that campus....ever! Even the active members of both groups were shocked by the number of girls. Amazing! Can we say tons of summer PR paid off???
Everyone talked, ate, played pool, and ping pong. I was actually envious of the 10 person pingpong game (3 tables together and mutliple balls going at once). It totally looked fun!
Couple of observations....
1. never ever never group your whole chapter and take them out of the room to take pictures while a recruitment event is going on!!! (That wasn't us!!!) I'm mean, thanks for the extra few minutes to talk to the PNM's by ourselves so we can have their undivided attention, but huh? Why would you do that????
2. Dear other NPC advisor, why would you let 3 of your 7 actives sit their and talk to you throughout most of the party? You just allowed us (thanks) to have a numbers edge! Why didn't you encourage them to speak to the PNM's throughout the whole party?? Not making sense!!!
Craziness! Since we have, like, NO rules it is amazing the things people are getting away with that would cause a Panhellenic meltdown at other schools. How about 3 PNM's put the other NPC on their application for college activities! So much for promoting going Greek versus your sorority.
Ok, enough for today!
