Skit and Philanthropy Days
I'm back! My timing was off on skit and philanthropy days and I didn't have much spare time so I didn't get any action photos --- but I did get a few photos of chapter houses that were requested here:

Alpha Chi Omega
If you look closely you can see the legendary plastic bags lined up along the steps and the Rho Chi sitting up by the front door.





Alpha Phi




Alpha Xi Delta
I think this was the house that was once one of those unfortunate 1960s monstrosities and recently remodeled into something more traditional looking. It's very lovely!



Kappa Kappa Gamma

Preference Night
It was still over 100 degrees for Preference Night. The PNMs deserve a medal just for looking so lovely and running on heels between their parties! Black was the primary color of the evening, with a few animal prints and other colors thrown in here and there.





Pi Beta Phi




Kappa Alpha Theta


Kappa Delta




Alpha Xi Delta

Bid Day!
It was 104 degrees this afternoon and sundresses were the choice of most. Many of the groups had already left for their activities or had gone into their houses, and traffic was crazy since classes begin tomorrow. Here are a few quick photos I was able to get before I gave up.

I'm guessing that the PNMs get a plastic bag to put their belongings in, for in between houses? I've seen one school where the bags are clear plastic so that you can see what's inside (so that you aren't sneaking anything out of the houses. When I worked retail, we could only carry our stuff to and from the store in clear bags given to us for this purpose, and were patted down every time we left the store.)

When I worked in retail even trash bags had to be clear plastic. We had to inspect the trash every night to make sure things were not sneaked out.
