Stanford starts on Tuesday with Orientation, and Friday with Open House.

I hope my late recruitment doesn't make my school too obvious!

Well Stanford's finals aren't over until mid-June. So with a standard 6-8 week NM period, that seems to work out (although it's funny to think of initiation happening near Memorial day!)

Perhaps she'd visit the NPC plus the MGC (or some of them) they probably have varying recruitment practices.

I doubt it's Stanford. The dates don't line up. Also, NPHC groups generally hold their own recruitment events; interested people choose the one NPHC org they want to pursue, and typically attend rush events just for that one org.
You could squeeze in a 6-week NM period before spring finals. Most, if not all, NPC orgs have adopted NM periods of 6-8 weeks. Still, juggling NM obligations, late-semester academic work, other activities, a social life, and sleep (!) would be tough.
Anyway... good luck, sundance. Have fun.

Stanford's recruitment officially begins on the 10th. One of my best friends is rushing there. So no, it isn't Stanford.

IT IS BAD FORM TO POST WHERE THE PNM IS RUSHING IF SHE DOES NOT POST IT HERSELF.

Well, the first day of rush has finally arrived (this weekend seemed to drag on forever)! It's going to be a hectic day for me... class from 10-1, work until 3:30, then rushing back up to my dorm to change, and heading on over to the sorority houses!
Some of you have probably guessed where I'm rushing by now, and that's okay, since I know there are probably only a handful of schools that are holding rush this late in the year. If you want to PM me about this, that's fine, but please just don't post it here so I can keep some discretion! Not that I plan to trash-talk any of the chapters here, but still.
I'm rushing with my roommate and two of my good friends--one of whom is in my rush group, so that'll be fun. We're all second years, so I know that the odds are slightly against us, but we'll just see how it goes. Also, having been here for almost two years, I inevitably have heard a lot of stories and rumors about each of the chapters... it'll be hard to go in without any preconceived notions, but I'm going to try my hardest to keep an open mind!
Well, with all that said, it's time for a shower and breakfast... I'm in for a long day!
Thanks for all the support guys!

5/8 is really good! I got cut by half the chapters on my first round of cuts and I was still ecstatic with my final result, so keep smiling!

However, it makes it 10000 times easier to find a cute white dress and shoes!

speaking of which- i was in our mall today and GAP had three very suitable white dresses in their front window.
a few weeks ago when daughter was home for spring break, we saw a darling white dress at j.crew, so ladies, if you need a white dress, they are out there!!
best wishes for a fun evening sundance.can't wait to see an update!

Slightly off topic, but I just can't help myself...I have that dress! (at least odds are in my favor that it's the same one) I wore it for Easter Mass yesterday and I'm going to be wearing it this weekend for my initiation  !! It's pretty adorable if I do say so myself
Also, if you're more well off than my poor college-student self head to Lily Pulitzer, they have a store next to the J. Crew where I got my dress so I went in for fun and they have some of the most amazingly wonderful white dresses...if only I had the time for a job while at school 
Anywho, hijack over! Back to your regularly scheduled thread.
