Wouldn't the time be better spent if skits and songs were eliminated so that the members could have more time to spend with the PNMs? Wouldn't that help them feel less overwhelmed and able to concentrate on what's really important?
I'd be happy to hear it if someone can point out to me the value that skits have, but so far it's lost on me. I can see how it might be a good team-building exercise for sisters, but I don't see the value for PNMs at all.

I'm not a "you have to have skits" person, but they DO break the tension - for the rushees and sisters. (Also if you have food, everyone can finish eating it during the skit.) However...
-they shouldn't take up the majority of the party, and leave no room to talk (10-15 minutes out of an hour long party is plenty)
-they shouldn't be full of "inside jokes" that the rushees don't understand
-they shouldn't be so perfect they look like Bob Fosse choreographed them. Everyone should know their parts but not to the point of it being rote. The one skit I remember like this made me feel very uncomfy, but considering the sorority I wasn't surprised.
