University of Iowa
 

Has anyone heard anything about their rush? I was on another message board when one of the guys said that he had taken his daughter there yesterday so she could start rush today!

The NPC chapters there are:


ACW
ADP
AEF
AF
AXD
CW
DDD
DG
DZ
GFB
KAQ
KKG
PBF
SGR
ZTA


Recruitment was to start today, and end (I think!) on the 24th.

I'm a senior at U of I and yes Rush did begin today with the Welcome! round of parties!

here's a link to our greek site - www.uiowa.edu/~greek

you can see pictures of chapter houses and such here - http://www.uiowa.edu/~greek/greek_li..._sor_info.html

Our rush is typical of that at a big state school - not as cut throat as the south, but we take things seriously here.

AEPhi just came to campus last year and they are unhoused.

If you have any questions - ask away :)

Those are impressive!
Were they formerly private residences or were they built specifically to be sorority houses?

The man I was talking about is a soccer referee (do y'all see a pattern here?), and I pm'd him to find out his daughter's name. Y'all seem to have a very strong system!!

Oooh, I wish there were PNMs from Iowa posting rush threads. I love hearing Iowa stories -- it's such a fun school!

I've noticed a definite lack of midwestern threads this year--no Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, etc, etc.... :(

Although the south is rockin' out.

Indiana has a lot of deferred rushes. Butler and Purdue does for a fact. I want to say that IU starts sometime in the middle of fall. Ball State may also have deferred, but I'm not sure.

I believe most of them were built to be sorority houses. I love my own house :) but the Alpha Phi house is my fav - it's a historical building so they have to get special permission for just about anything they do to it! The ADPi house was built in the 70's - as you can see, it's very inspired - but very cool looking on the inside! The ZTA house is the former Sigma Kappa house - but they've been gone a long time!

PS - here's the recruitment schedule for the rest of the week! Today was brutal!!! But the rest of the week gets easier :)
It goes from 14-9-5-3-1!

The focus of the evening is sisterhood, so you should be thinking about the chapter that would best suit you and your personality
Many chapters have a certain preference ceremony that is very special to their chapter that you will participate in or watch
This night is formal attire--something you’d wear to a formal or homecoming, or a cocktail dress, but not prom (like poof and sequence). It can be long or short and it doesn’t have to be black
Sunday, August 24: Invitation Day

Recruitment Guests will find out which chapter they will be joining and participate in Bid Day Activities with their new sisters
Recruitment Counselors will hand out the invitations
We’re Done!

Ohio State is deferred. I think Miami is also, but don't know.

Toledo -- August 21-24.
BGSU -- September 4, 5, 6, 7, 13 & 14.
Cincinnati -- Fall 2003

I hope everything goes well for you, IowaHawkeye! :D

Re: University of Iowa
 

Just a little update on Iowa... all but 4 chapters made quota (which was 34 this year) and that is fantastic for us!!!

If you want specifics (as to who did/did not make quota) - pm me :)

I love the Theta house and the Gamma Phi house! WOW!
Chi O has a great house
Alpha phi looks very victorian!

OMG all the houses are Gawgeous!

MIami of OPhio is defferred too.

Ohio University, UC, BG, and i think Kent all have fall recruitment, but i'm not positive.
