For second round on Firday night guys could go up to five houses, some guys suicided a house at this point and only went to one.
3rd round was Saturday night where guys could go to 1 or 2 houses.
After 1st and 2nd round, houses would have a time frame to make their cuts and then guys would pick from lists reflecting whether or not they had been cut from anywhere.
After 3rd round, guys would pref their top house before houses made any decision about who they a-listed or b-listed. Houses made their decisions at the same time the guys were making their decisions, there was time after decisions were over that lists were compared and it was determined what house each guy would be in.
For the record, no guys were cross-cut after 3rd round - everybody that showed up to 3rd round got into a house.

Thanks for the info. This is one of the few, and rare, campuses where I have heard of a quota used along with a somewhat structured IFC rush. So please bare with me as I have a few follow up questions.
First off. Since some chapters had lower quotas due to violations, how was quota set for those chapters? And was this quota made known prior to rush to both the chapters and the rushees?
If I'm following this, the 15% represents the percentage a chapter could pledge from the original number of guys. So as an example, if there were 100 guys who entered rush, then any one chapter could only bid up to 15 men. Is this correct?
Also if you were to add the percentage for each chapter, did they total (equal) 100%? Granted I don't know what the lower percentage are for those chapters with violations, but the numbers don't add up. 15% times 11 chapters equals 165%. In other words, if there was 100 men in rush, it seems like six chapters could get their 15% (15 members) which would be a total of 90 out of 100 men rushing. Then a seventh chapter could get the remaining ten members to equal the full 100 men rushing. This would leave the remaining four chapters with zero pledges.
As for the second and third rounds, did each chapter have a series of set parties, or just "open house" type parties? For example, if the rushee received and was interested in ABC, was his invite for a specific time only? Or could the rushee come by "whenever" and/or stay for as long as he wanted?
Also, did everybody that showed up to third rounds get a bid because of some sort of guaranteed placement or did it just happened to work out that way?
And finally, do the IFCs continue to rush the rest of the year?
Thanks.
