I almost just gave myself away posting under my real name! I make a terrible sock puppet! If you saw the post....shhhhhhhh!
First Skit Day
First thing in the morning, my Rho Chi group went down to get our invitations for the day. No one could cut girls after open house, so we all knew we’d be going back.
The rest of recruitment was held at various venues across campus which rotated each year between the chapters since one was clearly nicer than the others. The rushees didn’t know this, so Apple having the nicest room on campus just reinforced my conclusion that I should be an Apple.
Cherry- Cherry had a terrible party for first skit day. I remember my sister having her costume made over the summer, an Indian princess (er...Native American, but then again our college mascot was the Indian!) outfit. The theme was “Mardi Gras,” but Halloween would have been more appropriate with all the costumes. Seriously, one sister was dressed in a full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume! I don’t think any of them knew what Mardi Gras was really like, but that party was not it! I remember them singing all of these stupid songs. I have always hated musicals...people breaking into song for no good reason gives me the creeps. I met lots of Cherries, but none of them stood out to me except for one sister who was a legacy who pledged when her sister was still in the chapter.
Apple- All I remember is their location. It was the Alumni Center. How could I forget this party?!
Watermelon- More singing and dancing. Gag! The Watermelon’s skit was “Watermelon over the decades” with sister dressed in different outfits based on the decade. It was actually fairly cute, but I am so NOT a cutesy girl. What I remember most from this party was sitting across the table from a girl that looked so masculine to me...I couldn’t stop staring. She dropped out of recruitment the next day because apparently her aunt was a prominent Apple and was pushing her to join, but she wanted to be a Cherry. (I, of course, didn’t know this until my sister told me later.)
Strawberry- Ack! They were all dressed in striped overall shorts in their color with a polka-dot ribbon around their waists. A few girls were wearing flapper dresses in this color for their skit. My God they liked their color! The girls were nice though, and I could see why my sister had liked them so much.
