Yes, your different skit will make you all stand out, but will it be in a good way? Yes, not all traditions and history are good, and maybe something different would have spoken to you personally, but you have to think about the PNM pool at large…if they see all the "established" chapters doing one thing, and the "new" chapter doing something different, it may not be interpreted very well. Just my two cents. You probably have a resident consultant or active recruitment supervisors assisting you…I would make sure to run the idea past them before getting too far in. And if you've already done that/considered that, then- good luck! I think the skit could definitely be cute!

While I'm not a huge fan of the Sex and the City theme, I have to respectfully disagree with this take on doing something different. I say go for it! As long as the skit is put together well, the PNMs will probably enjoy a change of pace.
I think a lot of chapters on a lot of campuses are afraid to step outside the box and try things that are different/new (sometimes to their own detriment) because they're so caught up in being "the popular chapter" or they think PNMs won't want to join.
Take risks, change things up, and if it doesn't work out, you can always change things again.
