Snapping

[LucyKKG]

We totally snap. And yes, we had to explain it to the PNMs on the last night of recruitment. Ha!

Our chapter does not snap. When I went through recruitment and were visiting other chapters who were snapping I thought it was weird and kind of awkward. I made friends with 2 other PNM's who agreed. Funny as it is, we all became pledge sisters. Once we pledged, we discovered that we are the only chapter on campus that does not snap.

I really liked snapping because I think it made things go a lot faster - for example, let's say we were voting on whether to have a social with Sig Tau or Sig Pi. If Suzy Sister stands up and says "We just had a mixer with Sig Pi last week, we haven't done anything with Sig Tau yet this year" and then 80% of the chapter snaps, the sister who is pinned to a Sig Pi is a lot less likely to stand up and be like "but I looooooove Sig Pi, let's go there again!" I think it's a quick way to see who is in agreement. We never did it at recruitment because we thought it would confuse PNMs and we explained it to them during the new member retreat.

We snapped at meetings - not at recruitment. Hmm . . .maybe that is a Gamma Phi thing!

My chapter snapped, but we usually did it as a joke, and made Legally Blonde references while doing so.

We snapped.

Like GeekyPenguin said, it was a quick way to figure out the consensus.
Don't worry, a few years out of college and you'll stop doing it.
