Really, and I hate to admit it, but I feel the same way about skits. They can be cute and all, but what's the point? I'd rather spend more time having an at least somewhat engaging conversation.

At Wisconsin, we only clap and sing while the rushees are coming into the house or leaving it. Do other schools do it during the actual time set aside for talking? For some reason I assumed they all did it the way we do.
I agree on the skits -- I mean, they're fun, but in the long run they're really a waste of time and they tell you almost nothing about the chapter. That's one of the reasons why my chapter contemplated not doing one next fall and just using the skit time to get to know the girls better. We eventually decided against that, since every other sorority on campus does a skit, but decided that instead of just doing a normal skit, we would do a combination skit/slideshow that incoporated Tri Delta facts, quotes and pictures of the activities we do (Homecoming, Humorology [like Greek Sing], Trick or Treat with the Greeks, etc.) that would at least let them know a little more about our chapter than the average skit.
