Really, I'm referring to both. Homecoming and mixers. Homecoming is a big "scramble" because there are 9 sororities and only 8 fraternities that do it. So, everyone picks their pairs about 8 months ahead of time. I, as vp:Panhellenic, hated this SOOOO much because it was so much back-stabbing, under the table stuff. I just wanted to make sure we were paired up and not the "loser" sorority who had noone to do homecoming with. As far as mixers, it was always our social chair as well. I'm not sure, but you went to Newberry, right? I may be dead wrong on this, but my ex was a KA at Newberry, so we would kind of compare notes about how mixers went. At USC, you don't have time to mix with all 15 of the fraternities, so usually you end up mixing with the same ones. We always mixed with Pi Kapp when I was in school, but there were the other ones that you knew would do a couple of mixers together as well... ATO and ZTA, KA and KD, SAE and Tri-Delt, etc... And then, if the fraternity didn't feel as if you were "good enough" to mix with, they would offer an informal mixer. Basically, a party on their hall that they can invite other girls to, but your whole sorority will be invited. At Newberry, you kind of go through something similar, but on a much smaller scale. Three sororities for three fraternities (I think that's still true!). So you know that the fraternities will probably eventually mix with all the sororities, for the most part. I distinctly remember John having a couple of KD mixers and an Alpha Xi mixer, but I can't remember him going to any of the Tri-Sig ones, so I'm not sure if they mixed or not. I dunno, like I said before, it's very optimistic of me to think that ALL fraternities will mix with ALL sororities, but I know that I had friends in almost all of the fraternities.... It's kind of like joining a sorority... you can like girls in all of the sororities and respect the sorority for being who they are, but still think that YOUR sorority is the best!
