Npc Rush
why dont they rush one day at one sorority?? that would make it nice. I hear so many women complain about the packed in week schedule and that it was not fun, blah blah.........
also it would save the sorority time and money. For example, lets say first group at 1 pm, second one at 3 pm. and they dont have to stay together some group could go to ABC at 5pm, and some go to XYZ at 5pm. it would work better for those whose schedule dont fit on the "rush" time........ but its my two cents.
what do you think about it and how you think it can be improved??

Because some schools have 20-some sororities. So that would take over 3 weeks! That would be ridiculous. No rushee would want to go through that.
I don't think it needs to improve. What we do works for us.
We don't tell your group or other non-NPC groups that their rush or anything else they do "needs to improve". That's ignorant

Woah calm down. I was a bit confused by her question but it's just a helpful suggestion! And keep in mind that some schools have only 3 sororities, and this could possibly work.

NPC Recruitment can be stressful and there are plenty of detractors who believe it could be greatly improved. Some of those are NPC members. The aim, however, is for all the NPC groups to work together, to ensure that one group does not get a "leg up" on the others because they spend more money or do something that the others don't do to entice PNM's. In addition, the present system forces all PNM's to at least give every sorority a look, which wouldn't happen if they had the option of attending parties or not. As we all know, women do change their minds about where they want to join even after recruitment starts. That is why the stringent rules are in place. The members of NPC have agreed to recruit together and abide by the policies.
Could the system be improved? Sure it could. Would something like you have described (and as PM Mama pointed out) work on a small campus even if it couldn't work where there is large NPC presence? Most definitely. You make some very good points. However, most NPC members are happy (mostly) with the process just as I am sure you are happy with your intake process.

Her group is not a part of her campus NPC. I know that from previous posts of hers.

Some schools, like Ole Miss and LSU, have over 1000 girls rushing. If people could just go wherever, whenever, the sororities would get so confused that cross cutting would go up exponentially. If you can't set aside the amount of time that rush takes to be there, perhaps your schedule is too busy for a sorority, period.
Plus, there are different rounds - you can't do that all in one day.

I think that the only thing that could ever improve rushing would simply be more time-more days, longer hours, etc. Honestly though I do happen to think that (at UK) its handled quite well. Even though the first day is incredibly hectic (all the girls visit all the houses) its a lot of fun & exciting.
I also know that sometimes working & trying to go through rush can be quite a pain but we were always able to work it out w/ PNM's. Some of the girls that would have to work would be escorted by special Rho Chi's to each house on their own schedule (they spent less time @ each house the first day & as the week went on they were given priority time slots for the houses they were invited back to.) It worked out quite well, and out of the 700-900+ girls that go through rush each year there were hardly more than 5 girls each time that needed the special attention.
