Yet another example of why rush is so bad. Not that I'm saying it should go away because that's a whole other argument that I'm not prepared to win, but can you imagine picking your friends outside of college by making them do a skit and judging them on it?

This made me crack up! I was so happy when our Panhellenic did away with skits- one of their better decisions. We do a slide show now that is informative. There are things every Chapter has to include and I believe you get a much better representation of the Chapter that way.

I don't hate skits. I think the basic idea when they began was to give the PNMs a short break from talking and answering questions, just to relax and have fun. Which is good. They can be great IF they show the personality of the chapter and IF the chapter truly likes doing them. But at too many schools they're a "have-to" and the chapter's using a script from another chapter or HQ that has nothing to do with who they are at all.
