A high-end department store in my area is currently using, in their tv commercials, the same music a lot of these sorority videos play to sell the idea of shopping at a mall to young women. I have to laugh every time I see/hear it.

That’s what I was wondering! In a typical big chapter, that’s going to add $1500-2000 to each active’s annual dues. Unless someone’s daddy is paying for them.
Bravo IU Sigma Kappa! Powerful video and message.

I doubt it is a chapter budgeted item. It's probably parent or alumnae funded.

Shaking my head that cute nametags, coordinating outfits, and skits are out but professionally done videos of hotties are just fine.
I'm so glad I was Greek in the second half of the 80s.
For so many reasons.

I suppose the video has become the skit, except (and I feel this) less creative. They all have the same overall premise and parts to them (walking onto the football field if you're a big 10/SEC, puppies, jeeps with flags in the back,etc.) Skits, meanwhile, from what I've read sounded like fun times and a chance for the PNMs to break their nerves for a bit.

My service skunk has lived with me since he was a baby. I insist that he has to live in the house with me or I will gladly bring a law suit.

*throat clearing*
did anyone besides me READ the article? I quote:
The Miami video was estimated to cost between $200,000 and $400,000, so let's assume Alpha Phi rang up a similar bill — after all, they had to hire out the Pink Jeep Tour company, a helicopter pilot, a hot air balloon operator, the production team, and a singer for the original EDM song written by Artec.
In other words, we don't really know the cost of those videos, do we? I'm hardly defending Alpha Phi here, make no mistake about it. I'm simply saying people are getting a lot of exercise jumping to conclusions. Please. Alpha Phi has enough problems, seems like they like to keep adding to the list. That article was pretty pointed in its description of the ASU Alpha Phi members in the video.
My opinion about recruitment videos: waste of money, total superficial emphasis on form over substance. Kudos to Sigma Kappa at IU.

I could see how that DG video would "retail" for six figures. Watercraft rentals, beach/house rentals, music licenses, shooting permits, &c. I'm hoping they got a lot of discounts, waived fees, and donations of time and resources. You can also weasel out of certain permits and shooting fees if you're stealthy, but I wouldn't recommend it.
