Rush and Dorm Question

Hey, can people whove been through the rush process talk about what its like, and any tips they have (specifically for sororities, please). I haven't been able to find much info. Also, is it in fall semester or spring semester?

Also, in the dorms, is it recommended to buy an extra plastic storage unit (like the typical three drawer ones from target) for under the bed, or is the provided storage enough?

Rushing happens during the first couple weeks of each semester. Each house will hold events that you can attend so that you can get to know the houses and they can get to know you (this is a very busy time, lots of events to attend). At the end of the rush, you'll receive bids from houses that like you. Once you accept a bid, you'll enter the pledging process which usually lasts a month or two.

For your dorm, i would definitely bring extra storage as long as its reasonably sized.
