What event is this for? Is this night very competitive? Just a few questions. If you have done Aladin in the past, you may want to stay with a movie or television show theme. It won't be as difficult for the sisters to adjust to the new theme if your chapter eases them into it. My suggestions would be something like what my chapter used to do--we called it KD TV, where two sisters role play being freshmen and watching television shows. The shows can relate to what your chapter does for fun, what kinds of events you have, and what the best part of being a KD is all about. Actually, we transitioned from this event to an event that I planned called "The KD Sisterhood Awards," which was very similar to the MTV movie awards or any other award show. When both events were refined, we actually constructed a gigantic television screen out of felt and hung it from the ceiling. Sisters performed their skits behind it. It was fun to watch and the new members always really enjoyed it. One event that did NOT go over so well: KD in the 80s. Even though we all had a blast dressing up in 80s gear, it kind of freaked the PNMs out a little bit. Good luck!
