The Greek Life page should include an electronic version of the recruitment guide within the next month or so. W&M generally does a great job of getting information out to PNMs. I know they just set the schedule for fall recruitment, so that's probably why you haven't seen anything yet.

The format for W&M recruitment is 2 days of open house (Friday night and Saturday), philanthropy day on Sunday, skit night the following Friday, and pref night the following Saturday. Recruitment is not as formal as at other southern schools. You're welcome to wear a sundress to any of the rounds, but make sure you can sit comfortably in whatever you wear to the philanthropy and skit rounds. Bear in mind that it's generally quite hot in Williamsburg in September, and all the sorority houses will be crowded with people.

There is no specified outfit for bid day, however, every sorority gives their new members matching tshirts. So I recommend wearing neutral shorts or a skirt that will look good with pretty much any color tshirt. Every group does at least an hour's worth of group photos on bid day, so be prepared for that Let me know if you have any other questions!

From the Greek Life page on wm.edu, I see that Rush takes place over the first two weekends after Orientation. How does Rush work there? How many sundresses do I need; is there any event where you need a dress/outfit of a certain color or style (for example, some schools require PNMs to wear jeans and a white shirt on Bid Day)? Is there an activity where you have to do physical activities, do crafts, or bake ? Sorry for all the questions, but I want to have all the clothes that I'll need before going to Williamsburg.

Thanks so much for all of your help, GammaBelle! I'm in the process of lining up some recs, and how many is the norm for a sorority at W&M? 0,1,2...? I know that recs are totally optional, but I don't want to send too many and seem overexcited! haha. I doubt more than 2 since I've read everywhere that W&M isn't nearly as intense as other Southern universities, but maybe I'm wrong.

Can any W&M alum help me, please? I just want to know if you think PNMs usually send 0,1,2, or +2 recs! Any help is very much appreciated!
