How about this - U of the South (aka Sewanee). I very nearly went there. I don't know how they survive it.
In the fall, each sorority can have two introductory events and each fraternity one. They have to schedule them very publicly and no two groups can have them at the same time. Basically, all freshmen are STRONGLY encouraged to go to these.
Then come January they do what is basically two rounds of parties ... I'm gonna quote from their web site:
"Formal House Visits: Formal house visits will take place on the first Sunday and Monday after classes begin. The schedule and length of these visits will be determined by the IFC and ISC and will be made to conform to the interests and programs of the various organizations. Following a manner and schedule prescribed by the IFC/ISC the rushees will move in groups from one social organization to another.
Return House Visits: The maximum duration of a return house visit will be forty-five (45) minutes. Rushees will call upon the organizations of their choice during this time. Those who wish to pledge sororities must visit at least three organizations and men are encouraged to return to as many fraternities as possible. Traditionally, students are not generally considered for bidding by an organization unless they have indicated an interest by making a call during the period of return house visits."
KD is colonizing there this year, which will give Sewanne their first national sorority. I'm curious if a second one colonizes, will they be required by Panhellenic rules to change their rush format?
