I understand wanting to be there for your sister. I have one child and I have completed my OBGYN rotation!!! So, let me just say.... If she is having a C-section, only one person will be allowed in the operating room (I assume she will choose her husband). Depending on the hospital only one person will be allowed to sit in Pre-Op/PACU with her (I assume she will pick her husband). You will only see your sister for a very short period, the day of her C-section and that night, she will be a bit groggy. If she is a scheduled section, she could and mostly will get bumped by one or more emergency C-sections. Since, she is having a C-section, she will be in the hospital for three days. It is great to see family, but you will share the room with her, your brother-in-law, her inlaws, your family and the Nursing assts, the nurses, her doctor and the peditrician several times a day!!!!
It is the only time that she can do absolutely nothing, but recover, rest and relax. By the time she gets out of the hospital, you will be almost done with rush!!!! She will need help when she gets home... She will really need someone a few weeks later when mom is gone, mom-in-law is gone and her husband has gone back to work!!!!
So... information to chew!!!!

I was thinking this same thing!
Moxie--you need to at least contact the Greek life office ASAP to let them know your situation. I know that every year at my school (a southern, competitive school) people have to miss rush. There is a chance you could still get a house--it happens, but I'm not 100% sure about LSU, which is a much larger school than mine.
I must say that Angels&Arrows makes a pretty good point--hospitals can be strict about these policies.
