We always do the MIT retreat with a portion of the sisterhood. Last semester it was a sleepover in the music building. We also got some time to work on our recital. This year, because of how tight the schedule is, we will be paying for their meal at a restaurant and only membership will be with them. Just so happened we have a concert or major rehearsal every weekend. Opera year and showcase year...
I loved the recital last year though. Of course we all went to the PM recital about 2 weeks before ours. We made signs and cheered them on as they made fun of us and their bigs. Two weeks later, they came to ours as initiated PMAs. We had written an "Ode to PMA" to the tune of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Then we also had a birthday celebration at the end, because about 5 or 6 brothers/sisters had had birthdays in a 4 day span. Did I mention we also rewrote the Kappa Rap? It became an SAI/MIT/Chapter rap.
But really... the best part... Meeting in the "dungeon" about two times a night with my fellow class. The dungeon is a room under the stage normally used for practicing. We were secretive and pretended we were actually planning things. Really, it was just a time to get to know everyone and talk about everything. Sometimes meetings ran 9 to midnight... but we had a lot of fun. Apparently each class had done this. Each has met in the dungeon. And to be honest, I realized how much I missed this when I was crafting at a sister's apartment last night. We all agreed we need to get back to this.
