Yes, they do have to wait that long. I was not sure if they received their schedules tonight or tomorrow, but I was informed it is tomorrow morning. That is a long time to wait, for sure. However, in the "old days" we would attend open house round in the fall and not get our invitation lists until we returned back to school in January. The wait was excrutiating.

Oh yes. Back when I was there, first round was in November, before Thanksgiving! (For some reason I was thinking October, but the yearbook had a big feature story about rush the year I went through and it was indeed in November that year. I'm old. : ) ) IIRC, strict silence had to be observed from then through the end of rush (it was rush back then!) in January - that's a long time! (I'm pretty sure there were exceptions for academic-related conversations - such as a PNM and an active being paired up for a group project in class.) I can't imagine how it would be for families where one sister was in a house and one was rushing.
