Univ of Arkansas RUSH!

[irishpipes]

I guess I have a few things I could point out to pass the time...

In a further effort to make recruitment no fun, there is no skit round this year. Also, Arkansas does not do a craft during Philanthropy round - chapters are only allowed to show a video about their philanthropy.

Also, due to multiple rush infractions the past few years BY ALUMNAE DURING PARTIES, chapters are only allowed to have 12 "helpers" at each party, and they must be registered with the Greek Life office before recruitment begins. NO helpers may at any time be seen by the PNMs (basically, get in the kitchen, folks. And stay there.)

And, silence rules now apply to alumnae, including no letter clothing or car stickers. Any infractions and the chapter is held responsible. (How in the world is this accomplished? Why should the chapter be punished if an alumna who is not involved and doesn't know the rules, shows letters???)

Whoa - that's crazy.

ETA: I have to say about the skits though, that it makes prep a lot easier to not do a skit. They can be fun, but sometimes they're hit or miss in terms of a PNM identifying with a skit theme or topic.

You crack me up, irish!
I feel lucky to have had one year's worth of skits during my college experience, and that a few of the campuses at which I've helped have been a little more stubborn in getting rid of the "frills."

plaid3, best of luck to your daughter. Being left with only 1 chapter at this point will be tough, but it's true that, in the end, she'll only need 1 bid anyway!
