At Southeast, our Rho Chis wear their PX shirts with two sets of block letters underneath. I can't remember the exact setup (didn't see it last year, as I was waiting in the park for the NMs to run down the hill to us!), but I know it ends up this way: they all line up and someone counts to three and they take their PX shirts off to reveal the block letters underneath. Thing is, they are someone else's letters, but the NMs don't know this. All the PXs run to the girls with the same letters on and sream, cry, take-down hug, jump up and down, etc. The NMs in the audience (this is held in the auditorium where bids are handed out, BTW) are left looking around like, "sheesh, I had that wrong!", since everyone is always SURE they know what Chapter their PX is from. After a few minutes of this insanity, they count to three again and they take off their shirt to reveal the correct letters and do the hug thing for REAL! Then they announce that it is time to go to the field to meet their new sisters. If anyone is curious about the details of this operation, email me and I can send you the email address of one of my sisters who is a two-time PX who knows the procedure a bit better.
