silence?

[KSUViolet06]

Our period of 'strict silence' starts after Prefs and continues until Bid night.

The PNMs are confined to the Student Center from the time of the last Pref party at noon until Bid Night begins at 6 pm that night. That's SEVEN hours of just sitting in a room with your group.The Rho Chi's usually bring movies, snacks, etc to keep the girls occupied since they can't even leave that floor of the Student Center except to get food from downstairs (and even then they're escorted by a PX). They are instructed to bring a change of clothes with them when they show up in the morning because they won't be permitted to go back to their rooms unless it's an extreme emergency.

Likewise, sorority members are not permitted in the Student Center from the last Pref party until Bid Night. We're also instructed to get food off campus so that we don't run into a PNM on campus (who might be eating in one of the cafeterias if the Student Center food lines are too long). I don't think that last rule makes much sense because the PNMs are escorted by PX's if they go anywhere outside of the Student Center, and who is REALLY dumb enough to try to dirty rush a PNM who's with a Rho Chi???
