Food and drink for rushees (some campuses did full meals for pref), favors that the rushees took home, matching everything for actives for each round. Living rooms made into gardens with fountains and bowers of flowers. Budgets of tens of thousands of $$$. 
Nobody today can even imagine it. |
I went thru in 1963 - at Alabama. We lucked out that the local fire station was behind our house so the firemen helped with all our props, etc. Skit Day had the whole front of the the 3 story house covered by a wooden cruise ship! Pref was a full blown skit with southern belle gowns. We also had a preference brunch the next day - full food. Nothing like that going on anywhere today.
