singing or chanting as pnms come in can set the party mood. peppy songs/chants can rev up the energy of the members and give the pnms the impression that you are a fun, outgoing group. what are the other chapters on your campus doing?

what happens as the pnms file in during the song? are members meeting them and escorting them to the room where the event will be taking place or is the chapter staying on the stairs until the song is over? if it is the latter, i would feel very awkward as a pnm standing around while a group of girls sang to us. as soon as pnms crossed the threshold, members would introduce themselves to whichever pnm came in first and lead her to a display and begin talking to her.there was a plan on who would pick up the first girl and where that sister should go. for instance, susie would pick up pnm 1, then sarah would pick up pnm 2 and so forth. the song continued until the last pnm had come in and been picked up by someone and those sisters who did not have a pnm would finish the song and then go to their assigned spots.

agree with everyone that it sounds like some practice on conversation skills would benefit your chapter.
