Really, unless you've been there, you can't imagine how sweltering those packed suites in the Panhellenic are during recruitment. I remember as an active I had to take a break from one party because I was queasy. Following the rules, one of the recruitment counselors accompanied me to the ladies' room, and after about a minute of observing my pale, sweating self pressing cold, wet paper towels all over my face and neck, she said she knew I really was sick and wasn't trying to dirty rush anyone, so she left me in peace and went back to her other monitoring duties. At that moment, I couldn't have dirty-rushed anyone even if I had wanted to. I wasn't exactly a walking advertisement for cool, collected Southern womanhood just then!

I completely agree. So many of our girls have had to take breaks during the parties because of the heat. Also, the air conditioning in our suite was broken for the first 2 parties of round 1... when the maintenance men came in to fix it it was over 80 degrees in there!
