I love skits! They are fun and show that a chapter can get it together. That is if it is polished. A Skit must show something more about the heart of the chapter to be effective. It is time consuming, can be expensive and always stressful. If not done well -- skits are cheesy and a turnoff. If done well it will show the PNM's how your sisters interact with each other. It can be very telling of your sisterhood.
If your chapter is on the fence -- it may be better not to do a skit. If you are ready to put your heart into it -- it will show.
Regarding slideshows / powerpoint presentations and videos: Remember when you were 18 (or even now) did you want to sit and look at pictures of people you didn't know? Probably not - since most people don't enjoy this. (Like your Aunt Ruth's vacation pictures of the grand canyon?) It is good as a conversation starter, but not a productive use of your limited time for conversation during recruitment events.
Always ask these questions when you are making recruitment decisions: Will this help the PNM make a decision? Will this help the PNM choose my sorority?
