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....

I had never seen or heard of the hair flipping thing until someone posted a video from DG at USC the other day on another thread. The video was shot at night and all I could see was the hair being flipped like crazy from within the house. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on haha. Door chants were never done when I went thru rush. This year's recruitment (Jan. at the school my daughter attends) will be my daughter's first as an active. She said they've already been practicing and that her knees are sore as she is small and therefore one of the ones kneeling at the bottom.

Oh, the door stacks! I rushed 19 years ago, and I can remember chants from houses that cut me after first round.
They're catchy.
Of course as a rushee, at house one on day one - I nearly came out of my skin!
We practiced walking backwards into the house, waving, and then starting the goodbye chant, but not before crossing the threshold of the door, lest we get fined.

Sigma Kappa, you'll agree
Is the best sorority!

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

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.

I can't speak for XO at FSU, but I know Alpha Gamma Delta at Florida State does.

We don't do them at Florida State, so when I first heard of them from friends at different colleges, I was flabbergasted. I looked up youtube videos of some and was even more stunned! What exactly is the point of door chants?

We used to do very elaborate "walk outs" at Mizzou. It would take about 7 minutes to do the chants and the walk outs. There were choreographed skips, marches, runs, claps, etc.
This year they decided to do away with the walk outs and we are just doing door chants.
Sorry I don't have any videos!

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?

The hair flipping thing looks stupid to me, and it's really distracting. As a PNM I'd rather see smiling, singing faces instead of heads snapping like they belong in Wayne's World.
