We had 11 houses on campus when I was there (though it's down to 10 or 9 now I think) and we always had it over 2 weekends. It was usually the last two weekends of Sept.
The week before rush on a Tues and Weds night, we had an info night with all the houses at the student union for the PNMs to meet a few girls from each house, and all the houses handed out financial sheets.
The rush schedule went like this:
Round 1 - visit all houses over two days
1st Fri. - 5pm - 9ish (5 houses)
1st Sat. - 9am - 2ish (remaining 6 houses)
Round 2 - Philanthropy, visit 6 houses
1st Sun. - 10 - 2ish (all you were invited to, max. 6)
Week break
Round 3 - Skits, visit 4 houses
2nd Sat. - 10 - 2ish (all you are invited to, max. 4)
Pref. - 2 houses
2nd Sun. - 10 - 2ish (all you are invited to, max. 2)
Sunday night - Bid Night
We never seemed to have a problem with "tent talk" or drop outs after the first weekend. But we had done it that way for years, so I think everyone is just used to it. Besides, it was less tiring and you didn't get so burned out, I think.
