What's the point of skits?

[Alumiyum]

I used to be all for eliminating them on my campus, but in recent years the sororities have really stepped it up. Some use skits their nationals provide, but my chapter has always used chapter-written scripts, and the one they began using my first year as an alumna is pretty awesome, I have to admit. (And the script makes it easy to update the skit a little year to year so it doesn't get outdated). I've never seen ADPi's skit but have heard rave reviews every year, and Phi Mu's is a little corny, but they might as well be a professional company because they are always perfect in timing and costumes. I remember being very impressed as a PNM. Yeah they're a lot of work, but the PNMs enjoy a break from the chatting, and they're corny, but that's the point. They're fun. When I was on Panhellenic the chapters in general didn't want to get rid of the skits and I understand why now.
