This is a great resource for upcoming PNMs who want to get a look at what PNMs and sisters really wear for recruitment, what the tents look like and even a peak at what the boys on campus are doing during recruitment (don't worry, Mamas, its mostly flirting while handing out water!)
This is great info indeed. As for the guys watching? When I went through rush (decades ago), there were always guys who literally "set up shop" - they'd put a sofa on the sidewalk across the street from some sorority houses and sat there to watch the girls go by, LOL. I even remember hearing a story of some guys driving down the street who were so busy watching girls that they rear-ended another car.

No - the parties are all inside, but the girls wait outside between parties. The busses are air conditioned and tents help keep them out of the elements, but the humidity is intense!

I know of it happening on Bid Day. Guys would cruise up and down South Milledge like kids in a candy store. We saw a fender-bender my Junior year.

Apparently, from the sister side, the sororities/panhellenic are all excited about R2 return rates.

How interesting that they do prefs in the morning...never heard of that. The schools that I'm familiar with still do them in the evening. Just personally, but I like evening since it adds an air of formality and mystery as well.

Do you know the reason for having them in the morning? When do they get their bids?

And I wish them luck and staying open to whichever house wants them as a sister!

Definitely. I think around 4 - 7 PM. Then we would start scrambling for bid day.

Back in the days of skits, they started crazy early, and there was food. So as a Rushee, depending on where started your day, you might be greeted with a slab of cheesecake at 7:45AM.

And of course, we all kept the Coca-Cola distributor busy with deliveries of the little glass bottles.

Sugar coma for days.
