Cheesy and stupid as they are, I'd hate to get rid of skits. I loved the "creative" part - seeing the acting, singing, and dancing talents of sisters. It was also a break from having to talk talk talk - I definitely looked forward to that!
I just missed the food and gifts during recruitment. Thank goodness - imagine having to feed anything to 1,500 girls! I advised a year at a chapter where a pref meal at an alum's house was the norm. Of course you have to plan a menu that's fairly light, because the girls eat twice that night...and of course they just pick at their food.
That year a generous alum let us use her home. She did heavy-duty corporate entertaining for her husband. Her huge kitchen was set up with duplicates on opposite walls - double dishwashers, ovens, sinks, etc. etc. You see a lot of that now, but we thought we were in heaven!
