DGTess, the sorority members put in as much time than the rushees, and they do MORE besides - they've probably had a full work week, plus they must participate in membership selection after the parties.

The schedule allows time for meals, plus I believe there are also breaks during the recruitment parties. There are also 1 1/2 - 2 hour breaks between dinner and the evening activities. These girls are NOT being forced to go from 7 AM to 10 PM without a break. Plus I'm sure if a girl wanted to skip a meal in the dining room or wanted to take a nap during "movie time" she's not going to get kicked out of rush. I see nothing on that schedule that says all activities are mandatory. Rushing is very tense and there isn't anything else open on campus at the time, I'm guessing - these are activities provided so they're not a) in their rooms stressing out by themselves or b) going out to fraternity parties or the clubs/bars off campus.

Yes it's a lot for one week, but this is how schools with large Greek systems operate. If they were to run rush during classes, it would be even worse.
