t'was the night before recruitment

T'was the night before recruitment, when all through the Chi Omega house,
Not a sorority girl was stirring, not even a mouse.
The red t-shirts were hung in our closets with care,
In hopes that PNM's soon would be there.

And those PNM's were nestled all snug in their dorm beds,
While visions of greek letters danced in their heads.
Their tote bags were packed with snacks and deodorant and more,
Plus that little U of I Formal Recruitment booklet, full of outfit ideas galore.

The first round of Open House was just hours away,
Soon the Chi Omega girls would be ready to talk and pass out lemonade from trays.
The PNM's truly had no idea what house they would like best,
All they could do was be themselves and try to get some rest.

When the clock struck midnight and the girls began to fall asleep,
Just one Chi O let out her last peep.
We heard her exclaim as she turned out the light,
"Happy Recruitment to all, and to all a good-night!"
