[Pirouette]

My first party was Commdores and I was a bit taken aback at first. We were greeted by girls in red devil costumes, waving pitchforks and ushering us into hell. Now, my region of the country was one of the notches in the Bible Belt and I had definitely experienced a few Sunday mornings shuddering beneath the warnings of a hell and brimstone preacher. I did NOT want to go to hell!! But what was I to do? A beauty queen with a pitchfork was prodding me into the blackness of her sorority suite. I, and some other wide-eyed rushees, made our way in and were seated amid strobe lights that were supposed to give the illusion of flickering and leaping flames. Pretty impressive special effects for 1977!

If memory serves, the skit was a story of good versus evil. Angels draped in white, flowing dresses also appeared and they, of course, were the Commodores. I’m pretty sure the message was that they were there to save a rushee from the eternal mistake of pledging the wrong sorority. It was actually a very cute skit and apparently had a very strong impact on some rushees. When the lights came on and we were filing out, I saw Brie…crying, hugging the sisters and resisting the need to leave. She just kept lingering and finding one more Commodore to hug.

Based on this skit, I was so convinced that the commodores was Pi Beta Phi.

Thanks for sharing such a fun story!
