Starting with the Fall 2003, things spread out a little bit. Phase A was held in the IM West Gym on a Saturday or Sunday (all 13 sororities have a designated area in the gym and the PNM's move around the gym meeting all the houses). Then starting Thursday, Phase B was held at the repective houses. Those are the days that videos each chapter makes are shown to the PNM's. Phase B is Thursday and Friday and was still the Philanthropy Days (if I remember correctly). Phase C is held on Saturday and that's the day that house tours were given. Pref is still on a Sunday with bids being handed out on Monday. Basically we started earlier but added a day.

I think it's pretty similar to that now, but I haven't been to a recruitment in a few years, so I have no clue.

Interesting. I know they made some changes at some point in the 90s b/c when I was a Rho Chi later on, recruitment was spread out a lot more. (I distinctly remember that b/c it was that much longer as a Rho Chi that we had to remain disaffiliated with our chapters. Talk about hard...) Maybe by Fall 2003, they decided to try going back to the more compressed format b/c there were 3 fewer chapters.
