Hopefully that picture works...I'm still having problems with my "techno-talk"
Our recruitment works a lot of the same way. We don't have a house, so we have our own room all week, in the student union, that we decorate and we sing chant and cheer as they come in, a little during, and as they leave, we sing or chant...usually as they leave we sing "mmmm i want to linger". But it varies. We don't have set themes, but we rotate and keep things new. ::looks around:: who knows where there may be spies, so i can't tell you about THIS years theme, but i'll tell you about last years. (we have problems with the other NPC group *whom shall remain nameless* stealing our theme and then it becomes 'who can out theme the other') Last year we did "Delta Gamma's from Coast to Coast" The first night was "DG's in NYC" (the skyline backdrop, everyone was "sophisticated" and it was a classy information night) the next night was "DGs southern style" and we basically did a mardis gras night. The last night of informal parties was "DG's head west" and it was a texas-themed party. Chips and salsa, non alcoholic margarita mix, kind of a cowboy theme (should that picture WORK, it's a group pic after the texas night). We brought in bales of straw to sit on and hannah was handling the lasso and everything...it worked really well. The last night was pref and it had kind of an "unofficial" hawaiian/tropical theme. We had tropical fruit and we all had leis....part of what sold me on dg was during pref night. They said "the islanders have a tradition, if a visitor throws their lei into the ocean and the waves carry it back to shore, the visitor too will return to their new island home" (or something to that effect) but she continued to say "as you leave today, please place your leis on our anchor as we hope that tomorrow you will return to us as new sisters"
it was cool....i cried :-P
