First, was when fraternities would stop by houses to serenade new members at the end of sorority bid day. The second time was the HUGE serenade week in which both the sororities and fraternities took half a week each to stop by the other houses to express interest in social events for the following semester. Choreography, themes, customized songs, food gifts, etc...

Well, we still have 'social calling', the second thing you described. Like you said, the purpose of them is to express interest for socials (and to tell the sorority/fraternity what a great time you had at your last event, if you had one that semester). The girls just look cute and bring food, while the guys have a little more variety. Some fraternities just bring flowers, candy and other little gifts, others do a song, dance or both. Oh, and chapters will only send about 2-5 people.
