This. The chapter I advised had a "tradition" of the seniors filming footage during work week and then putting together a video that was shown at pref. The intention was to "showcase" how much fun the chapter had together, but it almost inevitably turned into inside jokes and senior memories. While it was definitely fun to watch, I don't think it necessarily was the draw for the chapter it was supposed to be. Personally, I thought it would have been better used during Senior Week. But it was "tradition" so no one wanted to change it.
