NWMSU goes to no frills
At Northwest Missouri State University we are going to a no frills rush this fall AND having Sigma Alpha (ag related sorority) go through recruitment for the first time! Talk about big changes! From what I hear though, everyone seems pretty excited about it. I don't know everything about our no frills, but here is what I do...
No:
*bump lines
*uniform dressing (but it can be similar, like the same t-shirts, black dresses on pref, everyone wearing a black skirt and white shirt...basically you can't be super frilly and say everyone has to wear this exact white shirt from the gap, etc.)
*skits (this really sucks, sk's hilarious first day skit really made them stand out to me about how laid back and funny they are)
*chanting while PNMs are in the room. we can chant while they are waiting outside the room to get pumped up though (we don't have houses so we have the parties in various large meeting rooms around campus) but we must be silent before they enter.
Only...
*one brag table
*7 (not sure on the number) vases of fresh cut flowers, and a $50? per day budget for the flowers
*other table decoration is 2 4x6 pictures in plain frames per table...once again i don't know if these are the exact numbers, but it was something like that
There are a lot of other little nitpicky rules like that that i cant remember...i'll have to get a refresher at work weekend. Basically our whole recruitment is going to be based on conversation, which in many ways is good. Luckily we do get to keep philanthropy day and pref pretty much the same to add some flair to recruitment. And our PNMs don't have to wear the same shirts or anything like that. For me this is going to be my first time on the "other side" so it won't be that different for me, but I do feel very sorry for the older girls that have to relearn everything! I'll post again once I find out more details on our rules.
