Sex and the City Skit Script - Page 4

You should also feel free to use the plot device of the main character writing about events in series of short episodes without sticking to the SATC theme. Although most recently used in SATC and the Carrie Diaries it was also used in My So-Called Life and Doogie Houser or is similar to the story telling mode used in How I met your Mother and the Wonder Years

If this is the chapter's first formal recruitment (Ole Miss, yes?), they will be getting much guidance from the sorority and likely this idea will be nixed in lieu of something more sorority and campus-appropriate. Best of luck! I think this sparked a really good discussion, however---let's keep recruitment skits a sisterhood showcase, select a contemporary theme on par with what other chapters are doing at your school, and keep the word "sex" far away from anything to do with recruitment!

DrPhil, I was going to say that Golden Girls is the kind of "retro" we're talking about that would actually work well. Oh, and please tell me what song you guys did that had people jamming to Butterfly Kisses (BLEEEAAAHHH) instead.

Well, we forgot that this was a song a lot of Black people loved but had not made it to the mainstream (white people). We attended a PWI. The few Black people in the audience were jamming. Most of the white people were confused. I recall one white guy saying "I don't know what I'm watching...what is this."

My chapter's performance was followed by an NPC chapter doing a very cute performance of "Butterfly Kisses". The crowd went crazy. They recognized it and loved it.

Know your audience. My chapter's performance would've been a perfect display of sisterhood if done for a group of aspiring Deltas who were more likely to know the song and get the references.

Exactly this. And now I want to know what song you guys did!

BTW: Youtubed "Butterfly Kisses." Never heard of it! But yes, know your audience.

The first time I was ever in a strip club (courtesy of a few fraternity friends my freshman year of college), one of the first strippers danced to a BK remix. The song is toeing the creepy line to begin with, but in my mind, it's WAY OVER.

What? No Dawson's Creek skit? ; - )

I have a feeling that the OP wanted our advice but isn't going to take it as she has "blown off" the thread thus far.
But then again, some people come on greekchat claiming they want "advice" but they really just want us to say that they are right.

To the OP: I really, really hope that I am wrong, that you are reading our advice and that you are LISTENING to your sisters! We aren't saying these things to hurt your feelings but to HELP your chapter become successful, especially as a reinstalled chapter.

I wasn't blowing off the thread, I was on vacation but I finally got to read through all of the replies, I'm shocked so many people replied! I really do appreciate the responses and I hope you all don't think I'm stuck-up and I was just looking for affirmation. Its nice to know people actually care and want to help. I think I had my questions answered and I'll see what I can do from here.

As a new chapter, I'm confident that she has the support from our national organization to use a great skit.

Good luck Alphadeltapie and know that we're all supporting you! Keep us posted

Thank you everyone for the input. And just so the few of you who were quite opinionated can sleep tonight, we will put this skit theme in the can. Thanks again for taking the time to respond, I appreciate the advice!

Good. But, trust, they weren't losing sleep over this.

I know, it was a joke.

I'll see if I can find anything about Frozen, I haven't seen the movie but it sounds like a good idea. Everyone is talking about it.

Good - I vote for a Frozen skit.

Sisterhood, great songs, classic feel-good Disneyness. Plus, I think that PNMs who haven't seen the movie will have seen commercials for it and been able to get the gist of the plot. It's not terribly common that a new movie comes out that's perfect for a recruitment skit - you should capitalize on the timeliness.

DubaiSis · #14 03-14-2014, 02:05 PM

I haven't seen the movie either but that song let it go is SOOO annoying. However, it's the kind of annoying that is also the ultimate earworm, so maybe a good choice for a rush skit.

Sciencewoman · #15 03-14-2014, 02:18 PM

It probably would be a good idea to go with a tried-and-tested skit from ADPi your first time through recruitment. Do you have a recruitment consultant? I advise a chapter that is 3 years old, and we have a dedicated alumna recruitment consultant for the first 4 years. She is a former traveling consultant and it is soooooo helpful to have her expertise.

That said, Frozen is a big deal. My daughter gave her new little sister several Frozen-related gifts for Big-Lil week a couple weeks ago. This was on her "likes" list, and was apparently a big hit.
