Then typically the new member class's bigs watch over them for the night.
Was it open to the public and just held in a fraternity house because there are no sorority houses? Or were they announcing them to that fraternity? Because if the second, then ick.

The closest we got to "presenting" our pledge classes was putting an ad in the school paper welcoming them after bid day and then when they were initiated.

Along that same vein, although not used as frequently:
NPC = National Panhellenic Conference - the national body
PHC = Panhellenic Council - the campus governing body

Hope that helped
