Purdue Recruitment

[sugar and spice]

My little sister has been super-busy with rush (from the other side) at Purdue over the last week. It's her first real fall rush -- she rushed her freshman year but got sick halfway through and had to drop out, joined via informal rush that spring, and didn't get to rush on the other side last fall because she's in the engineering co-op program and was working that semester. It sounds like Purdue rush is pretty exhausting -- when I rushed at Wisconsin, we never had more than four parties a night, but at Purdue, it sounds like they sometimes have more than twice that.

I'll be down in West Lafayette visiting my sister next weekend, so I'm sure I'll get some rush gossip then.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Cornell houses did have up to 300 members at one time. At my school, which has 11 sororities, the largest of which is about 130-135 members -- even as recently as the early/mid-90s we had more sororities than that, the biggest of which had about 200 members. The smallest sororities then were the same size as the biggest now. Numbers have definitely gone down.
