Ok, I'm a UT grad and I think these "parties" are stupid. There wasn't any of this back in my day. Granted, that was a very long time ago. Sororities do not need these to attract members.

It's not to attract members, it's to repel the possible members they do not want. Also to mark their claim on the possible members they do want, even if those possible members don't agree.

Exactly! Good thoughts!

Yea, they are not to attract people, but rather to show that they don't need to meet you or talk to you to know whether you fit their invite list or not. If you do, no need to talk because they already know you or know all about you, if you don't, why waste their time being polite to you? It might get your hopes up, lol.

Dance party, glitter party and piggyback party--they are rude and stupid, but they will continue until the national organizations, alums, Advisory Boards, and actives of these chapters drop the hammer and decide to, you know.....actually meet and greet and offer hospitality to all the PNMs.
