around 1800 are registered.

As for campus advice- the standard keep your options open, the house you love on open house day might not be the house you love at preference...

I'll add, dress to impress other women, not guys. and dress WARM. It's freezing in Indiana right now, and I don't think next week will be much better.

Do the pnms wear their outerwear (coats, snow boots etc) to the parties and then change before going inside? In my experience the chapter rooms get warm. I have advised my D to not wear a hot turtleneck where she will be sweating while at the party but to bundle up to get around campus. Is this solid advice? Will they be able to take off out layers and remain comfortable inside during the parties?

most if not all of the houses allow the women to come inside between the rounds to warm up and take off layers. I recommend having her carry a large bag of some sort where she can stash her sweatpants/coat/hat/gloves/boots. At the house I advise, the PNMs line up in a back stairwell where they can remove all of the outerwear before the round starts. Because of the number of times the doors open and close, the house stays pretty chilly. We don't recruit in our chapter room- We use the dining room, formal, informal, and some of the bedrooms.

ForeverRoses, do you know how many women actually wound up going through Recruitment after grade cuts?
