Rush at Stanford is always held at the beginning of Spring Quarter. Since all freshmen are required to live in dorms the first year, this gives them the opportunity to 1) develop friendships outside of the fraternity, and 2) get to know the houses over a period from September-April. All the fraternities have parties Fall and Winter quarters, and all are pretty visible socially, so by the time Spring quarter rolls around, a lot of the more popular houses know who they want, and who wants them, so getting a bid is a formality. When I went through rush, I was lucky that one of the groups I was invoved with had brothers who were Phi Psi's, so I knew that these were going to be my brothers, and I really didn't bother with any other chapter!
