[squirrely girl]

yeppers. yeah kissing carnations. it's so cute. basically the new member educator gets ahold of a fraternity and has the fraternity new member class (or current members - it doesn't matter) come over one night during a new member class. it's a big suprise for the new members, so DON'T tell em!

basically, one of the fraternity members calls a girl's name out, gives her a carnation (sometimes the fraternity buys them, usally the sorority has already bought them) and kisses her on the cheek. once all of the girls have recieved a carnation, the fraternity usually sings their sweetheart song. (when my new member class did this, the Phi Kappa Tau's cames over and sang the "i wanna grow old with you" from adam sandlers wedding singer. heh heh)

sometimes the current members of the sorority will have a thank you song to sing to the fraternity guys afterwards. ours was pretty dirty but they got a good laugh outta it.

overally it's a really cute way to introduce your new members to greek life and fraternities without having a full on party.
