Regarding the bubble, after Illinois had good success having a delay between the first and second halves of formal rush, Iowa started doing it that way, and they've had great success with it too. To me it seems counter-intuitive, but I think it does give girls a chance to take a breath and remember what their actual goal of out rush was. And they have found that fewer girls drop out. Quotas have been edging up at Iowa for a couple years now, and my guess is this year there will be a jump because virtually every house is at parity with the others, size-wise anyway.

I had a daughter go through recruitment at Iowa last year. At first, I wasn't a fan of the two-weekend schedule. I thought, "why drag it out? Let's get this done before school." But now after living through it with my daughter, I think the two-weekend (delayed) approach works. It gave her a chance to catch her breath and look at the big picture.
