I believe UCLA has preference in the morning and bid night later that day, but they're the only one I'm aware of that does it that way. I like the theory of it but the reality sounds like an exercise in chaos for the sororities. There is a LOT to do in the (normally 18 hours or so) time between pref parties ending and bid day activities starting. Cutting that down to 6 hours or so seems ludicrous. But somehow they make it happen! It really is the magic behind the doors. The first time you see rush happen from the other side of the door, it's a miracle that you thought everything was so smooth and easy for the always-refreshed looking sorority women you wanted to emulate.
