It does sound cool. We have rush after classes start so everyone is moved in already, but there have been instances where whole floors of a freshman dorm decide to rush and it's like the same thing!

The only downside to having one dorm just for PNMs during rush before school is when girls get released. Imagine getting released from recruitment before Prefs and sitting in your room watching your roomie and everyone else get ready and go to their parties. That can't be fun.

UA charged $75 this year for girls registered before August 1. August 1 and after girls had to pay $150. I think they did that to encourage girls to register early so the rush chairs would have some idea of the number of girl participating. (In 2006 nearly 300 girls registered in the last week, I believe.) The girls are allowed to move into the dorms a week early but that doesn't cost them any extra. The girls get two tshirts (because of 2 phil. days) and a rush book. The fee also covers the ICS program used for selections. I think that is all, but there could be more.

Wow...that's really a great value. Two shirts and free room and board! No one should be complaining!

Oh, we also got 10 dining hall meals.

Yeah, I thought of that after I posted - that's gotta be worse than if you did it after school started like a lot of campuses do. Wow, I couldn't imagine. I'd try to find other girls who got dropped too and comiserate!

At Iowa State, all of the PNM's don't live in the same dorm. They move into their respective dorm rooms all over campus. On my floor, there were only 4 of us going through recruitment. It was great moving into my room ahead of time. It was a lot easier moving everything in!

Definitely! I think there were about 12 or so girls in my rush group (I rushed in 1997. I'm assuming by your username you did as well, or the year before).

My roommate dropped out after the second day, though, and I do wonder if it was kind of difficult for her to watch me get ready.
