Door Songs/Door Stacking

[OleMissGlitter]

At Ole Miss is it done before Philanthropy Parties and Skit Parties begin. There is a method to "stacking" the door. Usually the smaller girls go on the bottom and then benches and small ladders are used sometimes to make it look like the door way is full. The Recruitment Chair will swing the door open and the girls will start screaming and do their door songs. Then they run out of the door screaming their PNMs name and pick up their PNM and bring her into the house. They start practicing their door stacks after Spring Break and continue up until the days of recruitment. Some houses also "stack" their windows. This mean the rest of the chapter that cannot fit in the door (some houses have smaller doors) they go and stack the windows. The windows do not open obviously but they can still be heard through the windows doing their door songs and smiling. It's a great sight to see. I know there are some pics on here of DG and some other houses doing door stacks. Also, it not very fun being on the bottom on the door stack. When I was in the skit my sophomore and junior years I had to be on the bottom and my poor knees were just all bruised up. However, that’s the price you pay to have an awesome recruitment!


ETA: I think they also do them now before the "ice water" parties which are basically open house parties that are a couple of weeks before recruitment starts.
