If there isn't enough room for groups of sixty, then why not make the groups smaller and have open houses on both friday and saturday of the first weekend? then have the second round go over two nights during the week, then pref on the next friday or saturday and bid day on sunday.
at Syracuse, if I remember correctly (we have 12 houses), this is what our schedule looked like:
Wednesday - Sorority Info Night
Friday, Saturday, Sunday - First Round/Open House (12 parties for girls... 30 some for the sisters of each house)
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - Second Round, Philanthropy (cut to 7 for each girl)
Saturday - Preference (cut to three for each girl)
Sunday - Bid Day
Having a longer recruitment was tough sometimes because you just want it to be over with and meet your new members already, but having the days off in between and using time during the school week allows for continuity, keeps the women interested, but still allows for people to get most of their schoolwork done... I couldn't imagine trying to stretch rush between two weekends with no activities in between. I think you would lose many of the women who got cut from houses they wanted and are leaning towards dropping out... but that's just my two cents.
I dont know about fraternity rush, but I never noticed any kind of problem with women going home on the weekends or partying. We had a rule though that no potential new members were allowed to go out - they were supposed to be dry and in their rooms from start to finish (to prevent dirty rushing). So maybe that had something to do with it?
