Also, all 26 NPC sororities have their own individual forums on this site, if you post your question there, you might get better feedback.

This will definitely be a help because unlike us they have been through your ceremony and you don't want to take something out that the PNMs liked.

Very good advice!

There is a VERY thin line at Pref Parties - you want to pull on the PNMs' heartstrings, but in a way they'll understand. If you have a few sisters tell of sisterhood moments, they can't be private jokes, or too morbid. If it's too emotional, you'll lose the ones who can't handle a lot of crying. If nobody cries at all, you lost them. Maybe somebody else can explain that even better.

Yes. Tell your sisters to hold it together. A teardrop down the cheek or a crack of the voice is OK here and there, but do not let them SOB! That is sooooo uncomfortable to people who don't know you, and whom haven't even spent a day in the chapter yet. Not to mention it ruins their makeup ;-)
