skipping class to go to rush event?

[33girl]

Duh, I didn't realize in my first post that this is fraternity rush. Aren't the parties kind of come & go when you want? How long do they last? Is there only one chance during the week to go see each fraternity?

I mean, fraternities don't have quotas or totals...it's not like if someone gets a bid from the fraternity you like on Tuesday that they won't be able to give you one on Wednesday. They don't have a "max" that they can take.

Actually it depends on the campus. While the IFC may not have quotas or totals, a chapter might - for what ever reason - have a self imposed quota or total. The more common example is a chapter that bases membership on the number of beds available in their physical house. This is similar to Indiana's and Nebraska's NPC recruitment and each chapter setting its own quota and total. And similar to NPCs and COB/COR recruitment, the number of bids could be filled prior to a rushee even having the chance to visit the chapter.

To be clear, I do not advocate missing class unless one is excused by their professor. If that is not possible, the rushee should make dang sure that any chapters he is interested in understands both his interest and that he is unable to attend during his required class time.
