Rush at my school takes place during the week before school, and all sororities move a week before that to prepare for Rush.
We have all of the same basic rules has Alabama...
There are no rules against balloons though. All of the sororities fill up balloons in their colors and put them on the ceiling of their house...
I'm not sure about the exact dollars amount of the fines for running over the time restrictions for getting the lists of girl who were invited back. But most of the sororities here have specific funds for these fines because they run over every year... During Rush we didn't get our lists of the houses we were invited back to until 11pm-1am the night before. We ALWAYS got our lists in person. Our Gamma Chi would talk to us one at a time to give us our lists and answer any questions/ concerns we had about the next day.
Also, on Pref Night all Pref Cards are signed in the Student Union. Once you have signed your card you go to a compleetly seperate floor of the Union so that you don't influence the girls who have not yet Prefed. All PNMs are required to stay in the Union until all of the sororities have given their final lists to Panhellenic. I didn't get back to my room until 3am that morning. Not only is there a no talking rule, but cell phones are strictly prohibited and while girls are in the Pref Ceremonies the Gamma Chis look in their bags, and confiscate any cell phones that they find.
