Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you all, but this was a long week for us. 12 party started on Thursday and finished on Friday. During this each round on these two days, there was a skit to be performed by our girls for the the PNM's. I thought the skit was creative and cute, but on the first day, apparently some girls didn't agree. The negative attitude about the skit was reflected in our girls. I'm still not even sure what the problem was...I watched and thought it was entertaining and those in the skit were able to work out any problems to make it better. But, the second was better, attitude wise, for our girls.
6 party was on Saturday. The AOII's all wore some sort of red cocktail dress. Instead of pounding on the walls and cheering like we had for 19 and 12, this was a more classy party. The PNM's were introduced to the whole chapter as they walked in the door. For example, "Women of Alpha Omicron Pi, I present to you....." then the PNM was greeted by an AOII and she handed the PNM a rose. The girls were able to sit down and talk just llike before, but at a certain point in time, the PNM's were taken into the dining room where they watched a video tape of us...this video tape was basically pictures that we had taken and put to music. The tapes are always great! This year, there were quotes directed to the seniors, which I think made every senior cry! The PNM's heard speeched and then were sung to. It was a very pretty event.
3 party or preference round was on Sunday. This was easily the most hectic day even though we had fewer parties to deal with. Now, to be quite honest, I'm not really sure what the ceremony and things looked like for 3 party. The AOII's had to wear long black dresses and a girl forgot hers at home and asked to borrow mine. I figured that since I was on MS, that it wasn't a big deal for her to borrow...so, I didn't get to see what happened.
Tonight is bid night. This is going to be pretty exciting! We are taking a rather large pledge class since the class that is graduating is the last of the colony class. It turns out that between 6 and 3 party, we had the highest return rate that Beta Phi has ever seen! That was pretty awesome to hear! And, it gave our girls the extra nudge to do well and be in good spirits for 3 party.
That is pretty much all that happened. I feel that the AOII's that talked to PNM's did such a great job. Being on MS, however, this was not as fun as last year. This was my second year doing it...I was one of two veterans for this committee. What made it hard for was the fact that one girl who had never worked with MS before was talking to everyone else like we were children. It's pretty insulting to be talked to the way she talked to me. She was say something to me, making me feel like I didn't know what I was doing and then turn to me no more than 10 minutes later asking me how we should do something! Grrr! Just thank goodness that is over. The best part is coming tonight!
