It's pretty much an informal rush except for the fact that we went to 8 houses for half an hour each on Monday. The schedule's going like this:
Monday evening: Visit 8 houses
Monday night: Receive calls from chapters inviting you back to their house for an hour each, to show slideshows and meet more girls
Tuesday evening: Go to the parties that you were invited to
Tuesday night: Receive calls from chapters inviting you to a chapter event
Wednesday evening: Chapter events
Thursday afternoon: Go to the Greek life office to rank houses
Thursday evening: Receive bids!
So we interact directly with the chapters rather than our recruitment counselor (who I only saw on Monday and probably won't see again until tomorrow... if I receive a bid)
We were told that we could decline parties... it was recommended that we thank the houses and tell them that we were considering another chapter.
All in all (I know that was long, I tend to ramble), I'm good!

This sounds like a recipe for lots of dirty rushing and recruitment infractions. WTF is going on at this school?
(Sundance - obviously not directed towards you, since you have no control over how they do recruitment.)

It looks like calls aren't being made tonight, Football Fan. I think she won't know anything until tomorrow night.
I agree that this recruitment process is kinda bizarre. I guess it's fine if it works for them though.

Okay, so I'm back from my chapter event for Mars!
I can't say much about the night without divulging where we went or what we did (I'm good at the discretion thing aren't I?  ), but I can say that I had yet another amazing time.
From reading some of your posts, I see that I may have made some poor choices and judgment calls... and if that's wrong, then I don't want to be right. I really like these girls (and the other girls that are rushing the same house too!), and I just hope for the best. If not, there's always COR throughout next week, or maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
However, it all comes down to tomorrow. We rank our top choices before 2 P.M. tomorrow (I have no choice but to suicide, of course)... and then it's bid time at 5.
I know I didn't go through rush like I should have... but now there's no turning back. If I don't get a bid, I will still let you guys know, and you guys can say "I told you so!"

Crossing my fingers for you, but I think it's important to realize (as I did) that first impressions can be wrong. I fell in love with one sorority but they didn't invite me back. The sorority I dropped did and then I felt like it was the perfect place for me.
I hope that you get Mars, but if you don't, give some others a fair chance too  You may discover the perfect place for you during COR.

I guess we won't know for a while as it is almost 5pm EST (GC must be CST) - Bid Day. *Keeping fingers crossed* Hoping for a good outcome since she hopefully did not get *the call*.

Well if she got a bid, she's probably with her sisters right now.

Perhaps she is out having a good time with the Martians. Then again, are you sure she is Back East? It's not yet 5 p.m. in the Pacific Time Zone.
