Sex and the City Skit Script

[alphadeltapie]

I know the concerns, and I've weighed them quite a bit so I know the risks being taken. But I'm just 19 and I have seen both of the movies multiple times, not because I'm a fan but because they are constantly being replayed on TV. I'm not a die hard fan at all, but I really do think that these girls will know the main characters even if they aren't fans. It's not to the degree of mean girls but its an unspoken understanding. We aren't going to focus on any "inside joke" kind of things except for their personalities because each four girls represent the four points in ADPi: sisterhood, scholarship, sorority, and self. We are going to have other celebrities in the skit, I'm just tired of awards ceremonies and talk shows and game shows. That is literally ALL the other sororities do. However, if you have something similar that could be parallel to our SATC idea I'm all ears! I really appreciate the feedback!

It sounds like you've already made up your mind, but I'm going to raise one other point that stands out to me as a bigger concern than the skit being outdated (b/c I think it could be done correctly). The part I put above…if you are a new chapter on a larger campus and ALL the other sororities do a different style of skit, I don't know that I would recommend straying too far from that. Yes, your different skit will make you all stand out, but will it be in a good way? Yes, not all traditions and history are good, and maybe something different would have spoken to you personally, but you have to think about the PNM pool at large…if they see all the "established" chapters doing one thing, and the "new" chapter doing something different, it may not be interpreted very well. Just my two cents. You probably have a resident consultant or active recruitment supervisors assisting you…I would make sure to run the idea past them before getting too far in. And if you've already done that/considered that, then- good luck! I think the skit could definitely be cute!

While I'm not a huge fan of the Sex and the City theme, I have to respectfully disagree with this take on doing something different. I say go for it! As long as the skit is put together well, the PNMs will probably enjoy a change of pace.

I think a lot of chapters on a lot of campuses are afraid to step outside the box and try things that are different/new (sometimes to their own detriment) because they're so caught up in being "the popular chapter" or they think PNMs won't want to join.

Take risks, change things up, and if it doesn't work out, you can always change things again.

I don't think their chapter is going that far. It sounds like the other chapters also do tv shows, just different ones. Going too far and being too different would be refusing to have a skit at all.

That being said, SATC is old and played out. It's nearing Wizard of Oz status.

A little lesson from Entrepreneurship 101:

Just because YOU are convinced it's a great idea, it doesn't mean that a broad section of your peers will. You absolutely need to vet it with your target audience. This means talking to 10-15 of your sisters and getting their unbiased feedback about the concept.

It's hard to let go of an idea, especially if you feel like you've been working on it for a while, but you need to be open to dropping bad ideas regardless of who came up with them.
