how many houses
by: PNMSo for frat rush the open houses last 3 hours for each campus on the first two days and 2 hours for each the next two days. I was wondering how many houses I should aim to visit during these time periods.

i'm trying to plan out my rush schedule as well, which fraternities usually have brothers outnumber PNMs on the first day vs PNMs outnumbering brothers?
I'm rushing a range of fraternities from "top tier" to the rest so I want to make my first day of rush as efficient as possible.

On the first few days you should probably go to around 6-10 houses total (e.g. 3 on north, 4 on west). Basically stay until you've formulated a good opinion on the house and personally talked to a few brothers. The actives may or may not invite you to a rush event that night. If they don't but you feel like you made a good impression, they may text you later. If you come around to around 7 houses and are yourself during smokers then you should probably expect at least 3 contacts. By that time you'll have gone to some houses at night, know the guys better, and have developed more opinions. The second round you should spend more time at the houses you care about because when they vote, they're looking for kids that they have gotten to know. I would go to no more than 5 before second contacts and at this point hopefully you'll get 2-3.
It's important that you don't rush only one house - it makes you look like a tryhard to the brothers and you're screwed if it doesn't work out.

judge it by the flow of your conversations... if you're having good conversations consistently with multiple brothers, that means it is time to leave - you've made a good mark.
