Yeah, every house does there own thing...even down to little Farmhouse. 8 guys in a dry fraternity but they have their own row week usually on Wednesday.

Sharing an act is not something that anyone would want to do. It's just not done. Even then, the choices are limited. The only fraternity houses are on a real row are Sigma Nu, Phi Delt, Lambda Chi and SAE.

The bigger problem with getting together actually has a good bit to do with risk management. Every house has an alotted amount of wristbands to give out (most give out far more), and has a security guard at the door that clicks off people as they enter to make sure they're not going over capacity...which for most houses, not including members and so on is around 1000-1500. As there is some parity on that row (but not enough)...if they combined the max capacity to 3,000...there could legitmately be 2,500 people in one house. Creates risk problems for sure.

Besides all this, no one wants to get together and do that. Haha.

edit: and macallans right. Girls like rap. Knowing the social chairs for most of the worthwhile houses, I can safely say that they have a general dislike/hate of rap but understand the value. More bang for the buck, I guess.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
