I hope they do this outside, or at the least not on the carpet.

Do the PNMS know/understand the glitter? I'd be pretty annoyed if I was a PNM and covered in a dust of glitter.

If someone threw glitter on me, I'd be livid. I don't care if a former first lady or two are alums, I'd still be livid.

Thats why it's normally called "glitter bombing" and it's something you're supposed to do to someone you DON'T LIKE.

Yes, I have heard of glitter bombing be called a "baptism of stupid"- meaning it was something you did when someone said or did something just beyond ignorant.

Have we ever read a post from Texas PNM's to whom this has occured? What was their reaction (or are those to whom this occurs sworn to secrecy)?

Ok, I know about the dance party and the piggy backs but glitter was new to me.

There was "glitter" talk at a House several years ago. Don't know if that has continued or not. One year, I believe, a blue drink was served at pref turning the pnm's who visited that House, tongues blue. There is always some rumor from some group.
I may not have my facts right but it is my understanding that every House will have a National representative on site to make sure Panhellenic rules are followed this year and it is their duty to report their own chapter. I got this information 3rd hand so am not for sure if I have it right or that too is a rumor. I think next Tuesday is Convocation so let the games begin.

I also heard about this, from a reliable source.

Just Interested... I really hope you are right about Nationals being at each chapter! I'll be in Austin next weekend, so I can find out firsthand!

[Griffins&Quills]

Maybe that will help keep them in line.

I heard that the national reps have been there for the past 2 years. Not sure if that's true.

[Just interested]

I think for some chapters, yes. What I understand is that what makes this different is they will be charged with reporting their own chapter's violations to Panhellenic which is a first instead of chapter members of other chapters (Rho Chi, panhellenic members) I think there has been a backlash so this is an attempt to stop it.

My understanding is that the National representatives from each NPC group will not be at their own house. They will be "working" recruitment at different houses. Visiting, observing, making sure party times and other panhellenic recruitment rules are adhered to. This is not first hand info, so I could have it wrong. Open House is tomorrow, so we'll know soon enough!

Don't forget to check out utaustinsfl on instagram...the door chants from last year were fun to see and hopefully they will be posting all week

Guess whose daughter attended a dance party yesterday? She said it was awkward, hard to talk, although actives were trying to have a conversation with her and dance at the same time, and she thought it was stupid. Every other house she visited yesterday consisted of conversation, introductions, and fun.
