For Tennessee, it is a must for a fraternity to put in a good summer rush to make sure they can pull a good pledge class with guys coming from top schools in Memphis (MUS, Briarcrest, St. Benedict, Houston, CBHS), Nashville (Davidson, Ezell, MBA), Chattanooga (McCallie, Baylor) and even Jackson. The past two years or so, rush has been a 5/6 day event. Walkthroughs were on either Sunday or Monday, then there were two "informal" nights and then "invite-backs" for the other two "formal" nights and Friday would be bid-day/bid parties.
My fraternity throws a couple big parties during the summer in Knoxville and Nashville and some days on the lake in Knoxville and then at the very end of summer before the freshman go up we have a huge party in Memphis.
Its just meant to let the freshman coming in see us better than they would during rush, and for us to know who we want to rush balls on.
By the way, if you aren't having rush parties at a bar or two during rush week you won't stick out as much as the big fraternities that do. A band party is always a good idea since it brings tons of girls and music.
