explanation
I guess I could explain what walk outs are. Basically your entire chapter lines up inside the house at every exit door, or the main door, depending on how you do it. When the party officially begins, the doors fly open and the sisters basically prance out of the house very fast and stop abruptly, like ROWDYsister said, boobs to back with our hands either down at our sides (not swinging casually, but directly at our sides) or with our hands resting on our behinds. We are all on top of eachother within a matter of seconds, last year it was 16 seconds for 120 girls to walk out of 3 doors onto the bottom half and middle half of our lawn, stairs, and front porch. We make it look like a pretty display, like a beauty pageant of our sisters. Then one sister welcomes the girls to our chapter house and we all rush the tent to "pick our PNM". Practicing walkouts is a HUGE part of work week and probably takes the most amount of time because timing has to be perfectly so you can utilize the most time talking to the PNM not walking out of the house. Some chapters get nasty and squirt their sisters who mess up with water guns. Now I think that's a great idea, but not when you're getting squirted in the face!! I do understand though, when someone messes up, the whole chapter has to stop and re-line up and start all over again. I could go on about this all day, so I'll stop now.
Our PX didn't do a very good job of explaining the "rush" or "walk out" to us, so I was super shocked the first time I saw it. But it's really pretty to watch. And very calculated, each sister knows exactly which blade of grass to stand on basically!
ROWDYsister, ya'll call names for round 1 too?! Maybe I'm forgetting but that must be super hectic since we don't get the rosters very early for round 1 to know who's coming through. On the other hand, maybe I'm thinking of prefs...
