I don't know if you're originally from Maryland, but I lived in DC, and the winters there are NOTHING compared to a good midwestern winter. DC closed down if there was a threat of snow, which I loved. Trying to look cute in -30 wind chills is not easy. Instead of makeup melting down your face, you have frozen snot and eyelashes! I don't know if anywhere has ideal rush conditions, but mid-September weather in the midwest is nice, if unpredictable. It can be really hot, or a bit chilly and rainy.

My midwestern school held rush about 2 weeks into September (after school started) and based on the stories I've read here (freezing cold or blistering hot), that was the perfect time to go through rush! Warm enough that you didn't need a coat and cool enough that you weren't a pile of goo.

Anyway, back to Auburn- anyone have more pictures?
