My Big Question is does your Sororities or Fraternities have a Cocktail Hour before the Dinner? We have A lot of Alum inthe Area who may not be able to stay for the whole thing, but i thought it would be nice to have an cocktail hour so they can come and visit , etc. Do any of you do that? Do you have any suggestions?? it would really Help, I was out Firrst real Ball to be Beautiful or our sisters and Alum. Any adivce would help!

Hey Binks,
What chapter are you from again? I noticed you said your first real Ball did you have a different formal before?
Iota Gamma is planning its second Sapphire Ball for April 26th. It's on the waterfront and here in Los Angeles it will be an absolutely gorgeous night. Anyway, what we do instead of having an advertised cocktail hour we have it listed as hors d'ouvres from such and such a time. We do have the closed bar available of course during that time and throughout the ball. We just feel since it is still a Phi Sigma Sigma function that we don't want to advertise cocktails even with the closed bar. Plus with the hor d'ouvres being served it helps to put food in the stomachs of the women who may not have eaten all day while they were getting ready for the Ball (especially for those who may want to order drinks right away - not good to drink on empty stomach)
Have fun and can't wait to hear how your Sapphire Ball goes!
