How about a "Day in the Life"?
Different girls act out a "typical" day (which isn't really typical, because it would include a whole lot of activities) in the life of a Kappa. You can have one girl be the main character - perhaps she's writing in her journal or you pre-record her narrating her day, or have different girls be in the different "scenes" - and you can have a "reality camera crew" documenting different sisters doing different things you'd find your girls doing on any given day, and the activities are all "Clips".
To denote time, you can use a clock, a posterboard with the time written out, etc. If the "main character" is writing a journal (ok, texting on
Twitter or facebook can work, too), you can say "9:30 this morning as I was walking to class...".
For example:
8:00 am: Wake up. Decide which set of letters to wear. Spend time with other sisters in tin front of the bathroom mirror getting ready.
9:30 am: Walk to class with a few other sisters down "Sorority Row". Wave at your Panhellenic sisters (you can make cardboard cutouts of people or their houses with faces in the windows, or even their mascots). (FRIENDSHIP)
10:00 am: Taking a class in "KKG". Have other sisters sit in their chairs in the "classroom" and have the teacher give an "oral exam" on things you want PNMs to know about your chapter (How long have we been on campus? What award did we win last year? What is our GPA?) (SCHOLARSHIP)
12:00 pm: Lunch at the house or cafeteria. Time to make jokes about your "Chicken Finger Day" or anything else specific to your house or campus cafe.
2:00 pm: Mock Philanthropy Project. (I saw that in 2004, you chose RIF). Have a sister read a book to "kids" sitting on the floor while the kids wear construction paper hats they made. (FRIENDSHIP/LEADERSHIP)
4:00 pm: Kappas at the library, studying together. Whisper too loudly and "get in trouble" by the librarian. If your chapter/campus does library hours where you have to "sign in", make a poster that looks like the sign-in sheet and sign your name(s) and times. Use props like books and notebooks. (SCHOLARSHIP)
7:00 pm: Chapter meeting. If you wear business attire, put on a blazer. Have "officers" hold a shot mock meeting, calling the meeting to order. Bring up something like "Now our Greek Week Chair will discuss our t-shirts. Let's hear her committee's suggestions and put it to a vote" or something like that. Have a pretend discussion, then "vote". (LEADERSHIP)
9:00 PM: "Movie night at the house" or something that's sisters-only and that you might do in large groups. Pretend you're watching the current "cool show", talking about it in between commercials, eating popcorn, etc. Wear PJ bottoms. (FRIENDSHIP/SISTERHOOD)
If you script it well, you won't have to do a lot of "showing" outside of "clips" or short scenes. I imagine that space is limited, so choose props that can just be picked up by the people in each "scene".
As for wardrobe, do like IMPROV actors do, and choose one item that gives the illusion of the wardrobe.
