A new first week rush plan for Delta Delta Delta Pi Beta Phi and Iota Psi Nu sororities is debated at their meetings. The plan divides opening week into three rush periods across Wednesday Thursday and Friday with one period per sorority each day and a lottery determining the entertaining order. Rushees are protected from interference while another sorority hosts precludes talking to them during visits.
