Tuesday report to campus
Wednesday 21 party day 1
Thursday 21 party day 2
*Friday 14 party day 1
Saturday 14 party day 2
Sunday 8 party *(or give the chapters a day off between 21 and 14 to move 8 to the following Saturday, pref on Sunday and bid day on Monday)

Then the following week start classes
Saturday Preference
Sunday Bid Day

It would have to stretch out over two weeks, I can't imagine being on the sorority side of it and getting it all in during one week with the actual events, decorating, cleaning up, MS, etc.

I cannot imagine this schedule without stretching it out to two weeks. If for no other reason than this old-fart advisor needs sleep.

I know TPA ended up doing formal recruitment, however originally they hadn't planned to; I would assume that the new group next year (ASA I think?) would have the option to stay in formal recruitment or drop out after open house. If they did drop out, it makes me wonder if women would drop out of recruitment if they didn't like thier remaining choices to give the new group a shot.

Hey, I'm one of those old fart advisors! Is there any other university in the country that does round one and breaks and comes back to finish recruitment? Just curious.

I think Mississippi has Ice Water Parties or something and then has the rest of formal recruitment a month or two later.

Here is my funny recruitment advisor story: Friday night at midnight I was finally back in the guest room and was exhausted. I just finished making up the bed when there was a knock on the door- and about 10 women flooded the room to decorate it for the next day. They had a great return rate but that meant they needed more recruitment spots, so the guest room became a new spot- so in came a futon, chairs, rug, throws, pictures, etc. About 12:30 they were done and I laid down. Then I heard singing. Yup. practicing for the next day. I think it was 2am before I fell asleep.
