Hell...recruitment councilors everywhere have to do embarrassing skits. People need to give them a break.

Those photos are jaw-dropping - the sisters and PNMs look so put-together, and so attractive, and their dresses are so cute.
I'm really glad I went to school when (the 80s) and where (PSU) I did - we had sisters with curly hair and straight hair, very tall and very short. When I see pictures from that time, the sorority girls look much less uniform.
This group would intimidate the hell out of me. Plus everyone has bone-straight hair - mostly blonde - and looks to be about the same height and weight. The Rho Chis (who are dressed for comfort) look far more like what I remember college girls looking like!
Good luck to all.
(The less said about the video, the better.)

Don't be intimidated! 99.9% of the girls look like the Rho Chis any other time. Remember, the ones in front are very, very carefully chosen to give the most glamorous first impression possible. There's an art to "stacking the door" as they call it - for impressions AND for pnysically getting those faces in the door.
I thought the video was deliberately cheesy and cute!

Well, we were perming over color over perm, so it's just the opposite end of the spectrum. We had sisters with bone straight hair who cried because it wouldn't curl.
They will wise up in a couple years like we did and stop abusing their hair.

I love how the one woman dressed like a prostitute in her picture has the audacity to call these girls out. Way to go. Keep livin' the dream as you take picures of yourself to post on a website so you can feel good.

It was also posted on Tosh.0's Facebook page today. It's preeeetty painful to watch. I was a Rho Chi for two years, one on Panhellenic Exec., and I would have refused to rap!

Some people are going to make rude and ridiculous comments regardless. I thought it was very cute as well...especially being NPHC and not accustomed to seeing this.

I would love to say something positive but that video was pretty embarrassing on many levels. Perhaps these girls should have watched the Kappa's at Baylor do their Kappa Jam...it was cute  Anyway, I would love to hear Anderson Cooper's take on this...where can I find it? Is there a link? Thanks ladies!!

I agree. I'm really surprised something like this came out of Alabama considering what a high profile sorority recruitment they have. I understand being funny and poking fun at yourself, but in order for it to come off well it has to be VERY well done done. This really misses the mark, IMHO. It just doesn't fit with the highly polished Alabama recruitment that is presented to the world.

That's the whole point.
Kind of like how the gorgeousest sorority at my school dressed up in overalls and farmer clothes for Meet the Greeks.
