Re removing "frills" and such, you can still do a skit without costumes by Bob Mackie and decorating the whole house to look like the Emerald City.

Actually, that can't happen. The recruitment rules are very strict. If they say no skit, then no skit. And, they determine who, what, and where decorations can be used. These things are spelled out in detail (right down to how big the outside banner can be and what actually constitutes a decoration.
As I am typing this, I am reminded of one Pan rule in particular, (just to give you an idea) ...
All Active members are required to
touch their foot on the threshold of the front door when welcoming a pmn into OR out of the house during FR.
The rational adult in me sees that this is to keep actives from rushing onto the front porch to greet a top rushee or to keep a girl from wandering through the house unescorted. BUT, the actives actually practice over and over this foot business and Gamma Chi's seriously look to see if it's happening correctly during the rounds. A bit much in my book.
