When I went through at MSU things were still pretty jam packed schedule wise with Phase A on Thursday (at the IM West-see note below), Phase B on Friday and Sat were the Philanthropy Days (that's when house tours were given), and Pref on Sunday. Bids were handed out on Monday. I don't remember having a Phase C.
Starting with the Fall 2003, things spread out a little bit. Phase A was held in the IM West Gym on a Saturday or Sunday (all 13 sororities have a designated area in the gym and the PNM's move around the gym meeting all the houses). Then starting Thursday, Phase B was held at the repective houses. Those are the days that videos each chapter makes are shown to the PNM's. Phase B is Thursday and Friday and was still the Philanthropy Days (if I remember correctly). Phase C is held on Saturday and that's the day that house tours were given. Pref is still on a Sunday with bids being handed out on Monday. Basically we started earlier but added a day.
I think it's pretty similar to that now, but I haven't been to a recruitment in a few years, so I have no clue.
