I doubt that ZTA just decided this week to allow senior live-outs and compel the chapter to take more members than the norm for the current system. I mean people are acting like these chapters should have woken up today and changed everything because of a thread on Greek Chat. This rush was a mess because of the missed party date and the time to think about changes is when everyone is calmed down from rush, NOT in the middle of it.

This rush was a mess... guess it's too bad for all those women who counted on the powers that be to adapt and figure out a rush schedule that wouldn't be a mess rather than cutting a party.

Time to think about changes?? From the postings here, it seems this has been going on for decades at IU. Bottom Line, no one wants anything to change. The IU Greeks should be ashamed of themselves and chapters in other schools should tell them such. The IU Greek system is a huge blemish on the nationwide Greek system.

In reality, nobody really cares outside of IU and us greekchat addicts. Most NPC members don't understand quota/total at their OWN schools, let alone give a hoot what IU is doing.

Great answer! I cannot believe this thread has over 64,700 views right now. Unbelievable.

My older daughter did not get a bid in the 2011-12 rush at IU. It was an awful, crushing experience for her. That was her freshman experience. If I had to do it over, I would have sent her to school elsewhere, it would have been better for her, and she agrees. However, she stuck it out at IU. I discouraged my younger daughter from rushing, but left the choice to her. She got her bid yesterday. It really depends on the young women, how much she wants to attend IU and how important sorority membership is to her. If it is very important, I would recommend another school. Both my younger daughter and I felt she could handle the disappointment of this experience if she did not get a bid. At this point, it makes me sick to see the disappointment of some of her friends, however.

Out of curiosity, do the "unhoused" chapters have any sort of community dorm space? Is this something that may be offered in the future?

Yes- at least one of the have a block of apartments and use the community room of the complex as a chapter room of sorts.
