What is a typical day for a sorority formal and how is it planned?

[CSUGreekGoddess]

I know that formal is a dinner and dance and it's kinda like prom. I was wondering how everyone gets prepared for it, how formal is planned, and what does the sorority do in formal?

Color me cynical, but you've asked quite a few specific questions regarding socials and/or recruitment with little explanation as to why...

Ditto.

Are you even Greek? Non-Greeks are most certainly welcome to post on GC and ask questions, but judging from your screenname, I can't help but think that if you're already in a sorority, you'd find the answers you're seeking within your own organization instead of asking a whole bunch of strangers online.

Feel free to use the SEARCH function. You'll find threads that may be of interest to you.

You know, these are the kinds of questions someone who knows nothing about the greek system and is writing a book might ask!

Just curious, are you IN a sorority? Our are you planning to rush? Or do you just have a lot of random questions?

Anyway:

Wake up
Eat
Go get hair and nails done
Get dressed
Go to sorority house
Get on bus to go to venue
Get there and eat
Dance, drink (if 21), repeat.
Get on bus and go home

My thoughts as well. Just to tickle them I'll answer.

You wake up. You eat breakfast. You shower. An hour and a half, two hours before you do make up and hair. Then you go take pictures and giggle and squeal a lot with everyone at the house/hall before everyone leaves. Then you go. Then you eat and probably ignore your date to talk to your sisters. Then you dance and if you're 21 you pay way too much for drinks (but hey, at least that way only the super lightweights can afford to even get tipsy which keeps them from being super-annoying). Then you go home and change and go out afterwards since formal ends before 12.

YAYEXCITING!!!!!!

Oh and this is how it is planned, at least for us.
Social: So is everyone cool with us having formal at xxxxx and doing xxxxx and xxxx?
Everyone: Uh. Ok.
Social: Good because I already arranged all that.

You've disabled the PM feature on your account, so I'm going to ahead and bring this up here:

I looked at your MySpace (which is linked to your GreekChat profile). It says that you go to CSU Hayward (home of two sororities, Alpha Phi & Tri Sigma) and that you're "looking to join a sorority."

That's all well and good. Here's where I take issue:

I'm not a fan of the big huge purple text blinky that says "FUTURE SIGMA SISTER."

At this point, you don't know if you will be asked to join or not, so I think it's presumptuous of you (and disrespectful to us) to have something like that on your page.

As a national volunteer (a very well connected one at that), I have to tell you that if you are serious about rushing (and don't want to ruin your chances),you should remove that.

Thanks a bunch!
