If these chapters at the OP's school are doing fine without detailed forms and pictures - why change it? Why make it harder for women who might be on the fence anyway to participate in the rush process?
Perhaps I came off a little bitchy, but when there's an implication in someone's post that everyone north of the Mason Dixon is an uncouth bumpkin who will never know how to run a proper rush, trust me, I ain't the only one thinking what I said.

Why indeed you aren't! In fact, back in the dark ages when I went through recruitment, before these new-fangled iPod things came out, we had no idea who was coming to our recruitment parties, or how many girls, until they rang the doorbell! Mercy me, we managed to muddle through despite that by saying such colloquial phrases as:
Hi Martha Washington, nice to meet you!
Oh, you're a political science major? You simply MUST meet Eleanor, she's very involved with the model UN!
<bump!>
What's that Susan B? You're majoring in Women's Studies? Do you know that our founders blah blah blah women blah blah feminism...
Elizabeth Cady over here is very interested in get out the vote drives, let's go meet her!
Now I know, having to make small talk spontaneously can be very difficult and is certainly not a skill necessary later in life, but I do think it gives we sorority women that little extra edge.
