Honestly, if my chapter had done an SATC I would have been completely turned off because a) that's not the kind of chapter I would want to join, and b) the references would have all flown straight over my head. I was 19 when I went through recruitment and SATC was past my time as a sophomore, so I doubt freshmen who didn't have an older sibling who watched it would be especially tuned in or interested. When I was at Clemson new student orientation two summers ago the orientation ambassadors did a 90s-themed skit that BOMBED because we had never watched those shows as kids. Please please please consider a different skit theme that gives off a better vibe and is more up-to-date.

I'm going to second Clemsongirl. I love the idea of making a connection between our 4 diamond points and 4 characters from a show but I don't think SATC is in good taste for recruitment. Recruitment is all about first impressions and you don't want anyone's first impression to have tbe word "sex" in it I'm sure there are other shows or movies with 4 characters that could convey the same message?

I'd love to see someone come up with a Pitch Perfect skit, especially if you had 4 good singers.

One of the chapters I went to for skit round also had four values they held dear, so they did The Voice and had the four judges represent those four values. It was a good way to show off some sisters who could sing while still getting their most important characteristics across to the PNMs.

My chapter would have chosen the show "Girlfriends" or "Waiting to Exhale" (some of you are familiar with the accusation that SATC was taken from WtoE).

Any negativity in the characters could be presented as how our sorority helps with personal growth, shaping sisterhood and values, appreciating differences (including lifestyles), and learning from our mistakes.
