I think taking away the skit and replacing it with a video was the best decision UCF Panhellenic ever made. We spent the year documenting our sisterhood and spent a lot more time during Spirit Week and recruitment focused on conversation and choosing the right women, instead of remembering lines and complex dance moves. I don't think losing the skit took away from recruitment; if anything the video truly showcased what it was like to be part of a sorority. Plus we got to sleep at a decent hour each night because we didn't have extra rehearsals and extra extra decorations to hang! We also got to share the video with our alumnae and parents during Family Weekend and Founders Day.
If I had my choice, I'd have food-- nothing elaborate, but at my school we only had soda and water. I think it would be nice to have fruit and cookies, at the very least-- nothing overboard or too rich. But when you're marching from house to house in the Florida summer sun, something in your tummy might be nice. I've always said that UCF Recruitment is the ultimate diet plan for PNMs and sorority women-- you have a packed schedule and you're too nervous to eat during those precious moments where you might actually have time to get food!
