Ha! We used so much Aqua Net (late eighties hairspray; not sure if it's still around) that our hair would have probably broken in half if we'd tried to flip it around!

And don't forget the dippity-do styling gel too. No way a hurricane could have moved that hair!

I think they still sell it, but I don't know if it's very popular.
Tresemme Level 5 is superglue in a can though.

More on topic: We do have stomping and wall-banging. The looks on the girls' faces Day 1 Round 1... priceless.

Maybe -- back in the day -- the origin of the hair-flipping (had NOT seen that before) was to make sure the actives don't drink during Recruitment.

There is NO WAY I could do the hair-flipping with a hangover!

They were big at UCF when I was in school, and I still remember all of them years later.

In contrast, here's an example from SMU sans hair flipping.

Thank you for this memory!

We used to save both large and small juice cans for my cousin's flip; she died several years ago and today would have been her 63rd birthday.

Someone was once telling me about a hairstyle called "the Artichoke" from the Sixties and it sounded like a flip on steriods. Is that what this would be?

We all had big front steps, or patios if you will. We had to stay on the patio, but all 100 or so girls would be crammed out there. But the Pi Phis were known for backing into their door as they sang at the end of each party, all while facing forward and singing, clapping, doing the whole thing at the top of their lungs. We all wondered how they did that without breaking a leg or falling like so many dominoes. We at least had a huge, open, rectangular patio and a large front door. But a big ole French door would have been worth its weight in gold to a sorority during rush.

We do that where I advise now but there are no steps since we all recruit in a hall in the University Center. There are double doors and the women walk the PNMs to the door and then back up the line as each one leaves. All the alums are in the room making sure no one backs into a chair or table....
