Greek Preview Day at Alabama

How important are these invitation only events for a successful recruitment? Do girls who cannot attend feel like they still have a "good" rush in the fall? By good, I mean several choices...

I know lots of out-of-state girls who didn't get invited to these events and had a good rush experience anyway. If you get an invite, great. If not, get recs so they at least know you are coming, have a good resume, and be yourself during rush!

I attended Panhellenic weekend last year and it helped teach me what to expect when rush week came around. In terms of where to stay, I stayed with a Theta Friday and Saturday night and not only did I gain a friend, but she answered alot of questions I still had about recs, rush, etc. If I would have been from out of state, I would have brought my mom and stayed in a hotel being so far away from home. Last year on this weekend, I also attended an AXO dinner at a local restaurant, a PiPhi fashion show, and a Theta Tea. The dinner and the tea were invite only and you could bring guests while the fashion show was open to everyone. I would highly encourage any girl going to Panhellenic weekend to go to as many events as possible but find the activities she would enoy because you can't go to all of them because most of them are at the same time on Sunday.

My sister was really worried about this when she rushed... as an out of stater she didn't know much of anyone and so she was only invited to these events at a couple of houses.

The house she joined did not invite her to any events, even though they held them. To me, this is proof that you can join a chapter without being invited to their pre-recruitment events.
