Whenever something like this came up in discussions my sister always said she wanted to attend the University of Salamanca in Spain where if you signed up for rush:
-attendance at all functions was absolutely mandatory,
-you got no choice in to which house you would be assigned,
-and if you failed to receive a bid you would be denounced to the Inquisition and turned over to Spanish Dominicans who would decide whether you were to be burnt at the stake or just cast into the dungeon to be tortured.

She said it really motivated the rushees to put best foot forward.
There were times when I believed she really meant this not just as a joke.

Since my Greek Life experience began at a Big East School in the Northeast, I always had a eye for Univ. of Maryland-CP, Lehigh and URI. If I had to choose a Southern school, it would definitely be Univ. of Alabama, Ole Miss. and UGA.

I would have loved to go to a bigger school. UCLA, USC (CA), ASU (AZ) or UofA. Although I really did consider going to Texas for a long time. I think all these schools have a great Greek system.

i just took a class entitled "Heresy, Witchcraft, and Inquisition", so I appreciate your sister's yearning for the good old days of really structured rush!
