We have 5 sororities on campus and no houses. The sororities are housed in a section of one of the dorms. About 100 girls go through rush every year, give or take a few.
First day is orientation for PNMs to meet their Rho Chis. After that, the rounds go as follows.
Round One--Values Day (Open)
Round Two--Philanthropy Day (Open)
Round Three--Theme (Skit) Day (Invitational, can attend three parties)
Round Four--Pref Day (Invitational, can attend two parties)
Bid day is in the afternoon, after Pref. All the PNMs gather inside a building called the Roundhouse, which borders on the quad, for Rho Chi revealing and bid card opening. The five sororities (AOII, Alpha Xi, DZ, Phi Mu, and ZTA) gather on the quad with their large wooden letters, bid day goodies for the new members, and balloons and such as that. The sororities do cheers until the new members open their bids and run out to meet their new groups. Then, everybody hangs out, talking, hugging, and still cheering, to wait to have their bid day pictures taken. After the pictures are finished, the sororities all have little get-together parties to celebrate. We always reserved a place to eat and play games and talk until everybody got tired.
