The rush activities at my son's school are pretty amazing, and the big fraternities spend in the tens of thousands of dollars on recruitment. There is no "rush week", the rushing starts in the spring and concludes at the end of the summer. They do the baseball games, the lake weekends, the ranch weekends, etc. but the big event that rushees look forward to is the New Orleans weekend-
They rent busses for the rushees and actives and they rent a club with live music in NO for the night, then they hit the other night spots on Bourbon St., they stay at a hotel (those who actually sleep) then come home the next day.
That is the most extravagant event, and I believe there are at least 4 houses that do it, not sure about the others.
