I'm thinking that they will get them in the morning before the first party.
Try not to be nervous...there are so many wonderful sororities.
I really mean it when I say all of the Greek ladies are amazing and the houses there are just beautiful. I had so many friends in other houses and although I loved my house I know I would of had a wonderul college experience being in any one of them.

Well, yeah. The women from the houses are chosen from U of I students who are awesome to start out with.

Very, very few women are released from all chapters.

across from Bromley. We visit every year and they looked really run down now, but it's been 20 years or so.
Looking forward to all the recruitment updates tomorrow!

Aw, Blue Balcs! I had friends that lived there.

This! If you look at the last 5 year average (I REALLY, REALLY loved that ODOS link...I hope they add in 2011 and continue to add in future numbers), on average only 1% of PNMs get released completely.

I lived at 211 E. John (I don't remember what those were called), and Johnstown (508 E. John?). I wanted to live in Green Balconies, but got outvoted. In any case, I miss paying $300/month for rent.

Wow, $300 a month! The cheapest I ever payed was $420/month (per person) in '08-'09 and that place was TINY.

The prices at some of those apartments there are absolutely outrageous. The 309 Green building was like $850 per person when it opened my Jr year. So that's a total of $1700 for a 2 bedroom. That's more than my 3 BR apartment in a nice neighborhood in Chicago. I get that those are really nice apartments but IT'S CHAMPAIGN, IL!!!! My parents are glad that my brother is living in his fraternity house for two years, lol

Oh, you're right, I think it was closer to $400/month, but still, $850?!?!? That must be one NICE apartment!
