This is so exciting seeing everyone get psyched for rush. (even though it makes me feel OLD) So when does rushcruitment (see, I'm trying) start at your school?

Rush starts on November 10th with the first parties at all 19 houses, and Bid Day isn't until January 7th. I can't wait until it gets here!

33girl, I'm with you! I may feel old, but rush (and yes it's rush for the oldtimers!!!) was always my favorite part

Next to the hairy buffalo of course

Rush workshop (now called spirit week) starts Aug 11, and recruitment starts Aug 20. That is the day the dorms open, and 2 days before classes start. I am so stoked! Good luck everyone!

Where do you go to school that rush lasts from Nov to Jan? Also are you on the quarter system and not the semester system??

Just curious!

Juniorgrrl! How's it going? I think bid day is the 19th. We haven't gotten our packets yet so I'm not sure WHERE they will put us. Did you see my post where the fee is now $125.00? I sent in my $63.00 check and they sent a card like "Oh, so happy to see you're interested in recruitment...SEND MORE MONEY!" I called and they said it was due to the incresed cost of housing. I honestly thought we would just stay in the dorms we are going to live in and meet as a group prior to the parties. I STILL DON'T HAVE A DORM!!!!! I guess I'll just have to wait for the mystery to unfold.

That's crazy! LSU hasn't done rush like this since 98 when a bunch of my friends went through. I guess its to give you more time with your new sisters before school starts? Maybe also they'll be pushing initiation up to the end of fall semester again - last year it was in the spring, I believe.

I can't believe the fee went up that much! Housing costs SKYROCKETED this year. My apartment cost 1700/semester last year. Its up to $1957/semester now.

Usually you move into whatever dorm you're going to live in that year and then just go to rush parties according to your personalized schedule, and meet with your Rho Chi at the end of the evening.

Have you called Grace King (res life) yet? They should be able to tell you wehre you're living. Also, if you go to www.lsu.edu, you can find the place to check housing assignments online. Good luck!

Hey there! I'm also going to sdsu this fall, and looking forward to rushing- i hope everybody shares their experience

I go to Indiana University. We use the semester system. I really have no idea why rush is so spread out. In the middle of November we have the 19 Party. And then there's no real rush activity until January 2 or 3. We have 12, 6, 3, and Pref during this week.

Our work week starts August 8 and the first round of parties is August 15.. Bid day is August 19 and the first day of classes is August 20. I can't wait to see where everyone on here going through ends up!
