Sorority Stuff

The recruitment is 3/5 done. Day 1 (Friday) the girls in the house dress in their solid color sundresses with white heels to greet the rushees. The rushees wear shorts/jeans and the panhellenic t-shirt they were given to wear. The girls "stack" in the doorway and all across the windows of the front of the house and sing to the rushees when the door opens. As far as I know they do this each day. The first day they have to do this 14 times (for 14 parties). This is a still picture to show you where Kaitlyn is in the doorstack. She is on the far right on the third row from the bottom. She has on black gloves (for her costume). They tilt their heads and clap just perfectly in sync.

This is what it looks like when the doors open. When they finish their song, the girls move back and form a tunnel so the rushees can walk in. The girls grab their rushee as they come in and then take them to do whatever (tour the house, see the skit, have a chat, etc.)

This was the work week sign on the front of the house when the parents walked in the other night. My guess is the t-shirts they give out on bid day will coordinate with this sign somehow.

Day 2, the rushees come in and see a skit. The first skit is based on the movie Clueless. Kaitlyn was in one of the dances. Day 2 the girls wear a business casual outfit (all of them wear the same thing) and the rushees are wearing sundresses and cute shoes. The girls perform this about 10-11 times day 2.




The 3rd day (Sunday) the girls are wearing a nicer dress/sundress (I can't remember if it's supposed to be jewel toned or print) and heels. The rushees wear a nicer dress/sundress too. The rushees see a 2nd skit. This one is based on Alice in Wonderland. Great skit! Kaitlyn was in one of the dances here too. I think they do this one 7-8 times.



On the 4th day ("pref" night) the girls wear black cocktail dresses and heels. The rushees wear something very cocktail-y too. I don't remember if they wear black or not. They have 3 parties that night.

When the groups of rushees leave everyday, the girls sing them out the door and form a doorstack for them again.

Day 5 is bid day. Everyone wears casual clothes. The girls wear one color sorority t-shirt and they give their potential new members a coordinating color t-shirt. And group pictures follow. Party Pics already has risers set up outside of each sorority house and they just go from one to the other. Then the sororities have their first outing with their potential new members. Lots of fun and the culmination of several LONG, LONG weeks of work for the girls "in the house." School starts on Monday, August 23.
