Haha yeah I'm convinced Greeks speak a foreign language that closely resembles English.

Lawn dances/porch songs are when the entire sorority goes running out from behind the house screaming and does a song. There was a rule that the girls couldn't move their legs (to cut down on the choreography element, I believe), so it just ended up looking really weird, with girls with stick-straight legs waving their arms around and singing as loudly as they can. It also made it really clear which houses were bigger than others, and the sizes of each house's lawn made a real difference too.

I don't think there's an official definition of "no frills" (please correct me if I'm wrong, wiser GCers!), but the idea of it is getting away from pageantry & image and moving more towards recruitment based on good conversation and Values-Based Recruitment (it's a whole thing from Phired Up).
