I miss the rush of days gone by as well.....
I also miss interviews for new members. I just don't see the problem with sitting down together for lunch, etc and chatting to get to know each other.
I miss scavenger hunts too....
And those who might have gone to Wright State, I don't know if it still happens, but I sure miss the Barfly "Pumpkin Hunt" and the "St Valentine's Day Massacre". (RM nightmares  ! but tremendous amount of fun!)

I miss greetings and being called a respectable names by "pledges". I miss the special ceremonies before initiation and would predicate one's membership.

Sisters are still greeted inside the house (as sister so and so) and on campus, but only by name... there is more to it but i can't write about that 
It IS nice to hear and to have that respect, we also greet the new members in turn but not in the formal way they are supposed to.

I wish longer pledge periods (and the word/term pledge) and waiting for grades to initiate came back.

Bring back above ground pledging, with gear.
Bring back the scroller club (A Kappa Alpha Psi pledge for those of you who don't know what a scroller is.) "traditionally".
Writing letters to the big brothers.
Having sessions down at the house.
Getting signatures for our little red books.

I really wish that my GLO allowed REAL candles and just promoted good fire safety tips. We have to use stupid battery powered ones that only work right 70% of the time. Bleh!

This will date me
I miss the actual walk songs, when we poured out of the house on to the sidewalk and sang to the rushees (yes I miss those terms too, and I think you are right that people don't use the PC terms). I can't imagine being stuck in the house and singing through the door.

Candles
I can't imagine trying to sing "Pass it on" now - "It only takes a battery, to get a candle going, and soon all those around, can't warm up in its glowing. . . "!!!
