FRIDAY
9:00 - 9:45 /
10:05 - 10:50 /
11:10 - 11:55 / Drink Round
12:15 - 1:00 /
BREAK 1:00 - 3:10 /
3:10 - 3:55 /
4:15 - 5:00 /
5:20 - 6:05 / Drink Round
6:25 - 7:10

SATURDAY
9:00 - 9:45 /
10:05 - 10:50 /
11:10 - 11:55 / Drink Round
12:15 - 1:00 /
BREAK 1:00 - 3:10 /
3:10 - 3:55 /
4:15 - 5:00 /
5:20 - 6:05 / Drink Round
6:25 - 7:10

SUNDAY
9:00 - 9:45 /
10:05 - 10:50 / Drink Round
11:10 - 11:55 /
12:15 - 1:00 /
BREAK 1:00 - 3:10 /
3:10 - 3:55 /
4:15 - 5:00 / Drink Round
5:20 - 6:05 /
6:25 - 7:10 / Drink Round

It also looks like one round is being eliminated and PNMs will go 21-12-3. I hope I am getting correct information.

Talk about a massive drop-off! Recs will be even more important now that the chapters suddenly have to cut huge numbers of girls with fewer chances to meet them. Ranking chapters for the PNMS will be really hard as well...hopefully Panhellenic provides them booklets to write their thoughts in or something to that effect.

What a brutal schedule....but there is really nothing else they could do.

You got it. The next Saturday (formerly 8 now 12 party) is an interesting schedule as well. Let's just say my email and cell phone have blown up this evening.

What the heck is a "drink round?"

The chapters offer beverages to the PNMs during those rounds only.

Why not every round? Cost?

Cost and bathroom breaks, I suppose. There are PNMs who would be afraid to turn down the drink for misguided fear of being cut, imagine who many times said PNMs would need to use the facilities.

^ The above schedule is correct but it's 24 rounds, not 23. So all PNMs will have 3 breaks somewhere in their 21 party schedule.

21 party will function as 14 party with skits, 12 party will function as 8 party with the slideshows, and 3 party will remain the same.

And don't worry, all PNMs will be receiving a book for notes and such just as they have in years past.

Clemonsgirl, a vast majority of IU PNMs do not get recs. IU did away with pre-recruitment activities this year and the recs were the gateway to getting those pre-recruitment invites. I briefly spoke with an advisor at a chapter who said they got around 100 and most of those were legacy forms or from relatives (niece, cousin, granddaughter) who weren't officially legacies in their GLO.

Interesting! Thanks for letting me know about that, as I figured that in a recruitment as large and competitive as Indiana's they'd be more important. And I'm glad to hear that they've always given out recruitment books as well-this year was the first year Clemson did it and I have no idea how previous PNMs kept 12 groups straight without one, let alone 21.

Recs are about as useful as the piece of paper they're written on at IU, just because of the sheer math involved. The chapters are actually easier to keep straight than you think because of the door chants/skits/etc. I still remember the door chants of some chapters and I went through recruitment a whopping 6 years ago

This will be a VERY interesting recruitment season at IU

The elimination of pre recruitment activities would seem to make recs less important. I was able to secure several recs for my step daughter for last year's recruitment and the pre rush invites were VERY helpful to her. She was only a legacy at my house (which is not at IU) so no Greek connections other than some high school friends in houses. She was a rush crush of an active she met at one and that was house she pledged and that active became her big sister. Sure, she might have gotten a bid anyway, but we now know from this active that my step daughter was always on their top list because they bonded at this pre-recruitment party.

With only three brief parties to meet PNMs, they're keeping the skits? I know the houses have put a lot of effort already into rehearsing etc., but sheesh.

Yes, they are keeping the skits.

Yep, just heard from step daughter, she is in the skit for her house. She said there are 24 rounds with 3 breaks....I can't tell if that lines up with the schedule that you posted. Yikes, it just sounds brutal for all involved.
