Just a note - these were not resolutions but "discussion topics" - meaning they are not a rule, but could maybe be the basis for one soon.
Also, in response to 33,
My campus had (and still has) a pretty decent size traditional greek system for the midwest. We did a normal formal rush with skits/parties/etc in the fall. Generally the spring was basic COB. However, the year I pledged (a spring rush) all the houses had quite a few girls graduating in December so they did "Structured Informal Rush" and it was great! I think it would work especially well for smaller schools/systems that have a lot of upper class pledges.
They had 3 days of parties. Each was 30 minutes, and they were for a set time period - so all ther houses had them at the same time and you could only stay at a house for those 30 minutes on each party day. You got to the houses on your own, though panhel would arrange transportation if you needed it. So you picked who you went to for those three days. Then after the last day's parties you went to panhel and ranked the houses just like you would after 3rd round in formal. From there on, prefs, bid matching, quota, etc was all done just like formal.
It was really a low stress but effective way to do it I think. I have to say, most women did not visit EVERY house, but they certainly went to more than just the "best" houses. Mostly they just didn't go to houses where they had a beef with the girls or had depeldged or whatever.
