Panhellenic voted to ban door stacks this year, so there should be significantly less hair flipping. They also banned the long-standing tradition of lawn songs last year, so I'd say USC is definitely moving in the direction of fewer frills.

Door stacks were typically performed at the end of each House Tour round, after the PNMs had left the house to stand on the sidewalk. In case you can't quite tell from the video, it basically involves members from each house screaming various XYZ-related chants while bouncing and/or flipping their hair in time. The effect is more than a little terrifying for PNMs who aren't expecting it, imho (not to mention the horror stories of women messing up the count and cracking skulls with their neighbor...)

Thank goodness! I remember having light, unintentional hairflips during door chants, but it looks like they're trying to put each other in neck braces! ouch!

And we wonder why Greeks are looked at like we have two heads sometimes…

I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything, but this is the weirdest tradition. And I think it was smart of them to get rid of it.
