Last year was the first year that we switched to having rush over two weekends. I think that it worked out great. I didnt fall behind on my school work that first week and you werent exhausted in class. School is why we are here anyways in the first place.

Well we always have rush that first week of the spring semester. So girls usually have to come back a little early, but its not a big deal since its only a couple of days.

That friday night before classes start we have a "Go Greek" night where there are skits and this year I believe a speaker on the benefits of being in a sorority and they you should expect from that week and what not to do. Also each sorority sends members just to help out and stuff.

The next day, Saturday is Philanthropy. On this day a PNM visits all of the houses. The next day is Skits and I believe by this point you cut three or four. Longest day bc parties are longer.

then you have the week off..

then that next friday is sisterhood night. I think you could to five or four parties. Then saturday is pref night. Three parties.

There are benefits to this.. more time to decorate.. less tired.. etc. Though you do take chances on people talking plus its really expensive bc we put rho gammas up in hotels. Plus its basically your first two weekends and week of school are used up and no one is allowed dt or out for fear of running into PNMs.

I hope that some of this helps.. if you want to know more just let me know.
