recruitment!

by:    

Just for fun..we know many houses are totally taking other 'successful' house recruitment ideaas-so let's not get specific-those houses already ruined it(and this will all be so clear after recruitment. bottom line all around-DO NOT take anyone elses themes/ideas/clothing,
Without being specific, what do you think were some of the better recruitment houses/themes?

how in the world would people know other house's themes/ideas/clothing and know enough house's themes/ideas/clothing to determine which was "best"?? I know in my chapter we are told to keep quiet about our recruitment plans and clothing and everyone I know in other houses have been told to do the same, so I don't know any of my friends house's plans.

One year, zeta stole tri delts walk out chant. Also, Axo used to do like a red dress for preference day instead of black, and then zeta decided they were also going to do a different color dress. I'm 100% positive zetas can't think for themselves and can't come up with a new concept in their own without copying another sorority.

AXO does the red dresses because of their philanthropy. So Zeta stealing the idea was just cheap all around.

Why wouldn't you wear your sororities color? That just seems like a given. And I'm being serious, not sarcastic.

That's exactly the point, zeta. Axo STARTED that idea of a different color dress. Zeta copied it because it was a cool idea. The point of this was to show that zeta can't think of a unique idea on their own, they have to copy off other houses.

So zeta now does axo color? Do they all do their own color and zeta is the only one that stole someone elses color? Zeta has great colors, why on earth would they not use their own? Unless they see it works well for another house.
And which of the other houses do colors that are not their own? Do houses change the color of their dresses every year or pretty much stick with it?

The point that's being made is that for as long as anyone can remember, AXO has worn red dresses on Pref Night as a nod to their philanthropy. It's a direct link to the Red Dress charity work they do with domestic violence. And all the other houses in Greek Town have always worn black dresses and let AXO sort of do their thing as an unspoken respect to their philanthropy and all the work they put in every year.

Zeta wasn't wearing colors that nodded to their philanthropy, nor were they wearing their own sorority colors. They just wanted to steal to the idea of wearing a dress other than black because they're so desperate to stand out that they'll do anything other than, oh, I don't know, actually put effort into being a better house.

And they have a history of stealing other houses ideas/themes/etc. It would be one thing if it were just the dress thing. But like we've already said, they've stolen walk-out songs, bid day themes, RAMS themes. They're unoriginal and it's annoying.

Thank you! @ugh Zetas are wannabes, never originals. Hence their bottom tier status!

@huh? You need to work on your reading comprehension. Zetas different colored dresses were a rip off of alpha chis original idea of wearing something other than black. Not cool, bro.

I'm assuming the top couple posts are from the same person-and you don't go to school here.
So you are saying every house wears black dresses for pref night. AXO switched it to red one year. Zeta decided to go with red. But with the exception of those 2 houses, every house at Mizzou wears a black dress for pref night? This is what you have stated above. Is that correct?

I am the same poster as "copy cat," but not "UGH." I do go to school here, which is how I know AXO wears red dresses every year.(although I missed last years recruitment because I was out of the country but I'm assuming nothing changed). It actually sounds like YOU don't go to school here considering you keep asking the same questions over and over and can't comprehend the answers you keep receiving. this is as simple as I can make it" Zeta copied AXO's idea and wore GREEN dresses the first year they copied AXO's different colored pref day dress theme. every other house has worn black dresses in the past.

AXO was doing the red dress thing back in 2005 when my cousin rushed t Mizzou. It's been a thing for awhile.

^seriously? now all of a sudden it's GREEN dresses? Not RED? AND you were voted down here, apparently on pref day girls wear many different colored dresses-NOT ONLY BLACK. Acclimate yourself back to being in the country before you spout of about things from 2005, ok?

Can you read? Please take some time and read this before you spout off at the mouth. Please, before you look like a fool again.

AXO has been wearing RED DRESSES since at least 2005 when one of these commenters said their cousin was at Mizzou. Meaning that AXO has been wearing RED DRESSES for at least a decade on pref day when it was the norm for houses to wear black dresses.

And everyone knew AXO did that and they left AXO alone and respected their different choice because the RED DRESSES were a direct nod to their philanthropy work with the RED DRESS charity for domestic abuse victims.

Then, Zeta wanted to be different so they decided to steal the idea that AXO had made their thing for at least ten years. And they decided to wear GREEN DRESSES one year.

Green is not a sorority color for Zeta, nor is it a color associated with their philanthropy. They arbitrarily chose GREEN DRESSES on Pref to try and stand out. And it was a stolen idea. Just like every other idea they've stolen.

In summary

- AXO wears RED DRESSES on Pref for 10+ years (Red dresses are important to AXO philanthropy/have a special meaning)
- Zeta wants to stand out
- Zeta wears GREEN DRESSES on Pref (Green dresses meaning nothing, other than not being black)
- Zeta steals another idea because they're unoriginal

You should take an English class next semester. You clearly need to work on comprehension skills :)

I agree! There was one recruitment video that everyone said the 'cowboy boot' theme stood out..was it tri delt? isn't that the theme for one of the houses this year? kind of weird-although so many girls do the cowboy boot thing on game day-theres only been one house to ever pull it into recruitment-and that was tri delt.

By: Hmmm
by: hahahaha   

hahah no tri delt did not start cowboy boots... this is the SEC now and that's a very common shoe style

Did you read that post before you responded? She specifically said a lot of girls wear cowboy boots on game day. She was referring to tri delts recruitment video, they were the first to pull the theme into a video, and it worked. Now someone else is going with it because it was a catchy, trendy clip. I think you totally misinterpreted what was being said.

I like how you throw it "was it tridelt" to make people think you aren't a tridelt then proceed to be 100% sure it was tridelt. These are the geeky new tridelt classes, folks, the reason tridelt is no longer top tier

No I definitely understood her post, a common shoe isn't a recruitment video theme that someone can claim they started

I remember this video, that's when I realized tridelt completely dropped the idea of recruiting pretty girls. Not to mention the cowboy boots play an extremely small role in their video I wouldn't have even thought twice about it

I didn't think so either until I went back and watched it. I think it's more about coming up with your own ideas. Yes, the cowboy boot idea isn't something people usually use, so I wouldn't say it's common. But someone saw it, took it and is making it their own. But I am curious as to what the above poster said about colors. Why wouldn't a house use their own colors for dresses-why go with a color another house is known for? Unless you have some god awful color, which none do, why not use your own?

Yes, it'd be cool if everyone wore their sorority colors but eveyone wears black on pref day. Except alpha chi. They've always worn red as long as anyone can remember. It's a cool idea, but no other houses besides AXO do the different color theme. That was until zeta decided to steal the idea and wear a different color than black too. That is why it's a big deal. Because zeta rips off other sororities. The same year the decided to wear green for pref day, they also used Tri delts chant and changed the wording to scream "zeta!" Instead of "delta!"

I thought KKG wears royal blue on pref day, tri delt wears white, gphi wears pink, alpha phi wears red(or black?). There are a couple others that I can't remember-but is that not true? Every house wears black except axo?

Every house USED to wear black. AXO was the first one to wear a different color years ago. Zeta decided to copy this idea years ago by wearing green. Please work on your reading comprehension. the statement is PAST tense. AXO started the theme. Zeta was the first one to copy the theme. The end.

Why does it matter about what colors the houses wear currently? The post was about houses stealing other chapters recruitment ideas! Zeta is an example of that! (And do you realize you're talking to more than one poster while you're talking in circles over there?)
Thanks for clarifying that you're a zeta, always trying to play the victim and talking in circles poorly attempting to avoid the accusation at hand. Zeta stole axos different colored dress idea a long time ago. Case and point. There is nothing else to be said, let it go zeta. Don't you have some other ideas to be stealing anyways? ;)

God help you all if you are choosing a house based on the color of a dress or whether they wear cowboy boots. If you do, you deserve what you get.
