The way that Purdue used to do formal recruitment was cruel and unusual. We had two rounds during either October or November (I cannot remember which.) These were on different weekends. If I remember correctly, they were not consecutive weekends. We did not see our invites until right before the next round.

The worst part, however, was that rounds three and four were the week before second semester. You had to come back early from Christmas break. It was cold and snowy. It was possible to come all the way back for 1 or 2 invites for round 3 and be cut before prefs.

I did however love "frills". The skits were corny, but I never knew what I would see the next time I went to a house. They also helped me remember which house was which after a long weekend visiting many houses.
