What do sororities really like to do at socials?

We never paid for drinks at our socials (TGs). They were paid through our social budget.

Does your national organization permit this? Ours doesn't allow any alcohol to be purchased by the chapter.

No ones does (fraternities included). That's what slush funds are for.

Benzgirl and I are from back in the day when sororities had slush funds too or just paid into a social fund outright. The concept of a "drink special" at a mixer is bizarre to me, as it implies paying for drinks.

But at any rate, yes, it does go over well if you have something available other than beer.

I want to know who the girls are who didn't like the Val Kilmer movie theme. That sounds awesome to me. There are some themes that you can do w/ sororities you are more comfy with/who are more comfy w/ you that you can't do with ones you don't know as well. The trick is knowing your audience. I know w/ all the sororities at Penn State that's hard, but still try to do so.

Our does not either. We are required to have a legit third party vendor if we want to have alchol there.

Well we can't have official Mixers with alcohol, so our "Mixers" last about an hour, and then the real fun begins.
