Congrats to all new PXs! It's such an important job. I love seeing your signatures with all the letters! That's adorable.
We had two PXs with my group, one was really committed and the other one not so much. The best thing the good one did was try to eradicate any gossip and disscussions between parties. Each day she brough a list of questions for us to answer between parties. The questions were totally off-topic but fun to answer so my group got into it. She had a theme for each day, I think the first theme was summer activities, what we did during the summer, and especially what had been our favorite summer activity when we were little. Then there was TV day, what we watched when we were little, which re-runs were our favorites and so on. The last day, Preference, she changed things up a bit and asked us what we were grateful for in our lives. This was really in keeping with the serious tone of the parties but kept us from being too nervous.
Unfortunately the other PX was not so committed to her job. The worst thing she did was choose favorites. There were certain women with whom she developed a definite rapport. This had pretty terrible results. These women somehow got the idea that the PX had the power to insure bids with the chapters they wanted. This was not the truth. When things did not work out in the way they envisioned they felt betrayed by the PX. Things smoothed out eventually but it definitely ruined their friendships with each other.
So, that's my good and bad PX stories, I hope they're of some help.
Good luck again with this job, it's such a wonderful Panhellenic service, congratulations and thanks.
