It wasn't weird, but it was just a change from what we expected:

I go to school in northeastern Ohio. Rush is in early September, so it's still fairly warm out. Girls wear skirts to their evening rounds and don't even need jackets usually.

Well, last year rush was pushed back 2 weeks because of a big university event. We figured the weather wouldn't be much different.

We were so wrong. The night of House Tours, it was BELOW FREEZING outside. It had been nice out all day, so that night, all the PNMs wore skirts or dresses and hadn't even bothered to bring coats!

Usually, the PNMs take buses to the houses and wait outside for like 30 minutes (with their Rho Chis) until the party starts. It was SO cold that night, all the chapters got special clearance from Panhellenic to let the PNMs into the houses as soon as they arrived so they wouldn't freeze. We had to wait in the lounge upstairs while the PNMs sat in our living room til the party was scheduled to start.

The Rho Chi's are supposed to stand outside for the entire party (about 45 minutes), but it was so cold, our Panhellenic told us to let them come sit in our kitchen with blankets so they wouldn't have to stand outside!
