I loved when I was a co-head PX! We had a day long retreat where we did ice breakers, learned facts about other organizations, we had one of the campus rec aerobics instructors come and we had a work-out and did some yoga so we could work on our own stresses, we learned the other groups cheers etc. We did a lot of role-playing of stressed out pnms and scenarios that could happen. Our panhellenic made sure to keep us mixing and really tried to keep the girls who were not of the same GLO together.

We also had our own T-shirts made -- greek life approved (besides the PX letters given to us by panhellenic and panhellenic shirts), 110% buttons (its an Elon thing with the buttons) that we would have on our bags, we all had PX buddies -- like secret santas and we would make crafts for each other, leave each other notes, etc. We also had our own date party and would all go out together. Our panhellenic had a rule that at least 3 rho chis had to be together to go to a bar or something, so we made a rule that it had to be at least 5. This got us to bond sooo much! We had our own cheers and we actually a very close group of girls. I still talk to other PXs that I would have never met or known had it not been for our PX program.

Right before recuritment started we learned about how the computer ranking system worked, release figures, and how girls would get their invites back, etc. Which is really helpful so it can be explained to the PNMs individually if they have questions.

Once recruitment started --which was over a week between winter term and spring term, so there aren't any classes -- we had daily meetings to go over problems and also funny things that may have happened during the day. We would also review facts about the different orgs and would have random dance parties in our room just to relieve some stress.
