Pi Beta Phi Pref

Pref night is the last night in a week long process of girls choosing a sorority and a sorority choosing girls. The girls have narrowed it down to two sororities after being picked earlier to join said sororities. So Pref night is a night to impress. This night Katie was Chair of the event. Pi Phi sisters are angels, so the theme was heaven. Usually Pref night is done in all black, but this time ivory and pink where the colors of the night. Katie hung 36 tablecloths along the walls on the dining room. Lights and tulle were strung and draped throughout by Katie (her hands ached from use of the staple gun). I made flower arrangements and a number of girls worked on the back patio. Nikki, the Vice President of Events worked tirelessly throughout the week to put this whole week together.
Trips to four Costcos yielded enough flowers to make arrangements (this is what I did for 4 of the 5 hours).
The back patio had cute little crystal chandeliers, paper lanterns, and lights. It's gonna look wonderful at night!

Center table was changed and out and replaced with this one. Looked better. As the girls entered this room, they received halos (baby's breath garlands for the hair).
One of the girls made these letters as we were decorating. They turned out so cute.

This was a week long process. Every night the sorority was decorated different with the girls having similar but not matching outfits to meet the all the new girls. They made cookies, sang songs, danced, and attempted to woo new recruits. Thanks to Katie and Nikki and the many other girls who helped create this heavenly paradise. We finished 10 minutes before the first group of new recruits were to arrive so I didn't have time to get any pictures of the girls. I was hustled out the back door with my supplies!
