BOOOOOOO!!!!
dzsaigirl, I can't see your pictures!!!! They won't show up on my computer.
I can barely remember rush when I went through. I do remember two nights of informationals, then a theme party, then pref. (The sororities only cut for pref I think). The info parties weren't very elaborate, the room was decorated with all sorts of paraphernalia, things the girls were involved in, etc. Themes were fun. I remember a 50's theme, a Baseball theme, and a Little Mermaid/Under the Sea theme I think. (There's one I'm forgetting). The skits were very cute and very entertaining, and themes parties had good food (like popcorn for the 50's, WONDERFUL baseball cookies for the Baseball theme, etc.) And then pref was dressy, with cake and punch and a ceremony.
While I was there, rush pretty much stayed the same. It REALLY changed after I left, when they added the philanthropy party and cut the frills. I did go back to rush as an alumnae this past year, and one of the big stinks was that the Panhellenic advisor (who was a guy) told the groups that they could only serve 2 food items during pref. Our girls had cake and strawberries (and punch). They thought about having chocolate dipped strawberries, but they weren't sure if the chocolate would count as an extra food item (and result in a rush infraction). That should tell you how well thought out and organized their rush was.
Hopefully things will be better this year. I am for "No Frills" recruitment, but not "No Personality-and-fun" Recruitment.
I can't see the pics!!!
