Hello!
Rush at Cornell is very fun and very cold!
First round is very quick - 13 sororities so you get to see each house. You will go around in your Rho Chi group.
Then you go back to 10 houses for house tour/philanthropy day. You get a tour of each of the ten houses you go to. For the philanthropy some do events -a craft etc others just have posters up telling you about their philanthropy.
Next is skit round and you can go back to 6 houses. Funny is very popular for skits at Cornell.
Finally you get to go to three houses for pref.
Remember it is cold and after 1st round you could be having to go between campuses between parties -because not all houses (but most) are on North campus. There is a bus but it is still cold and if it snows that's just the worst! Dress warm -a lot of girls where one pair of shoes and change when they get to the chapters (but don't do that during open house-do it for later rounds like pref). All the houses have some sort of way to store coats so where one with a scarf and gloves etc. One really good idea is to buy those little bags of instant hand warmers (like they sell in ski shops)
No classes are happening but lots of parties during rush are but if you go out all night you are going to fall asleep at rush parties!
Good uck and let us know how it goes!
