Last year, we did "Alice in Phi Mu land"
It was really cute. It started out with Alice and Dina on the first night of recruitment. The Greek Life Advisor was explaining what recruitment was like and Alice fell asleep. A white rabbit jumped through the room saying, "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date" Alice got up and started chasing the rabbit. The rabbit got away, but Alice found a Phi Mu badge that the rabbit had dropped. She put it on and went looking for the Rabbit. She came across the very ADD-like Chesire Lion (who was on top of a coke machine decorated to look like a tree) The Chesire Lion got distracted while talking to Alice by the 'shiny object' and asked about it. When Alice described it, the Chesire Lion realized it was the Phi Mu badge, and while she didn't know what it meant, the pink carnations knew more because they were Phi Mus. Alice then went on her way to find the Pink Carnations. The white rabbit ran back through. While Alice was chasing her, she got intercepted by the Mad Hatter and... another character who told her about how much sisterhood meant...They fed her a cookie which made her shrink, and in turn, the badge got larger (we used a paper copy of the badge that was much larger) She got to the pink carnations, all of which had different personalities (athletic, funny, smart, prissy, etc) who told her more about Phi Mu. When she left, she ate another cookie and was back to normal size. The White Rabbit ran through one more time, but then the queen of hearts (who played the greek life advisor," came back in and said "off with their heads," and whispered "not really, i'm just suppose to say that" her and alice then processed what had happened and alice said that she had found the place where she belonged. Alice went back to her seat, woke up and after a conversation with Dina, left the room. They came back in like it was bid day in all of their Phi Mu gear. Once the group broke up, the white rabbit walked in and said, "man, I knew I was going to be late" We then went back up around the walls (which were very decorated with paper trees and flowers and such) and did a dance to a song by the Cheetah Girls that went like this--"Cheetah Sisters"
[Verse 1:]
Theres a time when we all choose
To either quit or follow through
To just loose faith
Or trust your heart
To somehow lead you through the dark
You're not the only one who's dreamin'
And who needs help to carry on
We might get lonely but we're not alone
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus:]
Cause we are sisters
We stand together
We make up one big family though we dont look the same
Despite our Different
Different colors
We make each other stronger
That ain't ever gonna change
We're Phi Mu girls, Phi Mu sisters
[Verse 2:]
Gotta do what we gotta do
Got the brains, got the power and we speak the truth
We're from everywhere around the world
So ya best respect the Phi Mu girls
Dancin, singin from our birth
Workin hard for what we deserve
Trying not to break the rules
Cause mama didnt raise no fools
It may seem we're only dreamin
And we need help to carry on
Its good to know we're not alone
[Chorus:]
Cause we are sisters
We stand together
We make up one big family though we dont look the same
Despite our different
Different colors
We make each other stronger
That ain't ever gonna change
Believe it mister
We're Phi Mu girls Phi Musisters
[Bridge:]
Someone's always there behind
To catch us if we fall
[Chorus:]
Cause we are sisters
We stand together
We make up one big family though we dont look the same
Despite our Different
Different colors
We make each other stronger
That ain't ever gonna change
Believe it mister
We're Phi Mu girls Phi Mu sisters
All the characters from the skit had a solo dance. It was really cute!
Our theme for this year is going to be good, too... but b/c we have spring recruitment, it is still under wraps.
