What's the point of skits?

You'd hope. But I don't think this is always the case (there are many chapters that certainly don't have the $$ to commission a professional media presentation) and then that chapter ends up showing the generic video from HQ - which, by dint of having to be so, is usually pretty generic.

As far as skits OR videos, if they give the PNMs a time to truly relax a little, are well done without being over the top AND actually say something about the individual qualities of the chapter - either can be great. If they don't do those things, they can bring the whole party to a screeching halt.

I agree. On our campus I kind of like doing ours. This year we did a rendition of "can I get your number?" where one of our sisters was the guy (she's really funny and pulled it off great) and another was a strong Tri Sigma girl who was respectful but wary. It was really funny, even after watching it over 10 times. Other chapters did similar themes, I know ZTA did a song skit based on "bed intruder". Apparently it was hilarious and I kind of wish we could have all seen each others'.
