observation at recruitment parties

I wonder how that conversation got started. "We REALLY want to talk to you somewhere quiet...oh, here's a bathroom that no one is using!"

The only time I remember seeing PH members going around is before the parties actually start on the first day (Open House). They only come to see that the decoration is the way it is supposed to be. That day the house has to look the way it usally does all year. We can have decorations but not many.

LOL, and it was the really elegant sorority too! OTW has the definition right.

And thanks Alphagamuga, I suppose I do have a fun life!

There will be about 4 or 5 at each party. Then Panhellenic Execs will come around as well. They usually just hang out in corners of the room where the party is and watch. The head of Greek Life will also stop in to probably at least one party at each house.

In year's past there have also been members of other sororities (like people from their headquarters) who have watched parties. This has only been done twice that I can remember and those headquarters officials have to get permission of the chapters and from what I've understand the chatpers can say no to having them. However, I don't think anyone told them no!

At mine, Rho Chi's are present at open house (usually put in a corner and given a cup of hot chocolate) and at a novelty party of a house they're not a member of. They *are* permitted to attend their own final party if the chapter allows them to. We're not an NPC campus so ours is a bit different.

Can we please have a thread where Carnation just reminisces endlessly about SEC rush back in the day? Please?

That would be heaven to read...come on C, it really would be a blast to read your memories!

I am in favor of this! We could provide topics to prompt some memories, like maybe in the form of awards: for example, this thread's story might be Most Creative Use of a Toilet During a Rush Party.

Or for the arm punching PNM in orange and purple: Most Original Costume.

I suggest Best Corrupted Rush Chant as the next topic.

Carnation, this would be a good project while you're iced/snowed in today!

Y'all are making fun of me!

I was thinking the other day how awful it was that quota was often set after second parties...way to keep the big groups big and the small ones small.
