It's like another thing to check off the list of things to do, ie, "have dinner with my KORE family at least once a semester." What was the motivaton to change it and has it ever been reassessed? Do any other houses use this or are we the only ones?

ADPi uses Prides, which, to my understanding, are similar. I'm sure other orgs have similar groups, I don't know which ones.
I think the initial decision to move to Kore was to let the new member get to know more members - especially when they had Kore families switching every semester. A good idea in theory, but in realization not always feasible. It's really up to the NME and chapter to make the most of the Kore families. If anyone is interested, the entire Leadership Guide and each officer's supplement are on the Members Only side of the Kappa site. You can read through it to get an idea of what the program currently entails. Of course, having just had a Convention, some things might change slightly.

Kansas State has fall rush, but the last I heard Chi Omega still initiates after Christmas (the only sorority on our campus that I'm aware of.) Does anyone know if that's their national policy, or are these Wildcat Chi-Os just a bunch of rebels?

TMK, Chi Omega is the only NPC org that still maintains a longer new member program. Somewhere on GC Chi Os have mentioned how their NM program works on campuses that require a shorter NM period.
