It seems to me like the PNMs will have a lot of extra time with just one of the groups [the one they spend a day and a night with], and thus gravitate toward them during formal. Perhaps I am just misunderstanding - can anyone explain why it's done this way and how it evens out?

Either way, good luck SuzieQ
Greek Weekend at the UW (in the spring) isn't about selling high school seniors on your particular sorority, it's about selling them on going through formal fall recruitment to join a sorority. Each house hosts about the same number of girls. While this might give girls ideas about where they'd like to go and get asked back to during formal recruitment, it doesn't seem to be a big problem. My sorority little sis stayed at Alpha Phi during Greek Weekend, and while she initially liked them a lot during recruitment, she found her home with at the Xi... Remember, recruitment is all about mutual selection, and Greek Weekend only gives PNMs a very small taste of sorority life.

Open house events are the shortest and PNMs visit all 16 houses; it usually just includes sitting in the formal living rooms chatting with two or three sorority members in a row. House tours are invite only rounds (PNMs can go to maximum of 10) and include a tour of the house.
