Back in the day, when we had fall formal rush, Rho Chi's deaffiliated for the entire summer. Those of us who lived in the dorms just moved into our fall dorm rooms a few days before rush. Those of us who lived in sorority houses got temporary dorm rooms.
I had a huge box of sorority T-shirts, glasses from formals, composites, etc, taped up and stuffed in the corner of my room. Didn't quite realize how much stuff I had until I had to box it up, LOL
I hear my school is going to a deferred rush, though. Rho Chi's will be allowed to live in their sorority houses and go to closed events during fall term, but they can't wear letters or hang out with a lot of sisters. Once rush starts, I think any Rho Chi living in a house will get a temp room in the dorms.
LOL @ the poor Rho Chi whose affiliation showed up on caller ID! D'oh!
