What is courtship?

It's when the fraternities that are interested in being paired up with you for Homecoming do "nice gestures" during the year, like sending the house flowers or writing they love you in chalk on your driveway. That's not official courtship, but it makes you keep them in your heart.
There's a week in October where the floodgates are opened and courtship takes place (I don't remember if it's the week right before Homecoming or if it's two weeks before) and it's a total circus. All the fraternities put up huge light displays on their lawns of the letters of the sororities they want...they come to the houses at dinner to bring dessert, they drop by later at night to bring treats for the girls who live in the house, they sing, they give all the girls roses, they decorate the sororities' lawns with banners and flags and even balloon displays, etc. etc.
I heard one of the fraternities was going to rent limousines for the girls. My favorite was when one of the fraternities had masseuses come to our house before dinner.
Then we all vote on who to be paired up with during Chapter. My house was split last year.
