<p>Quick Question: Spring semester classes begin on Tuesday, January 18. Do most students return to campus a few days earlier (Saturday or Sunday), or just the day before?</p>
<p>Varies, most people (that aren’t in sororoties since they go back a week earlier for rush) probably go back on sunday/monday. Doesn’t really make a difference…I’ve had years where I returned the night before, and other days where I’ve returned a couple days before, usually depending on things like price of airfare, etc.</p>
<p>As marc mentioned, the girls doing formal rush (and those already in a sorority) will be on campus at least a week early.</p>
<p>Myself, I’ll be flying back on Jan. 16th this year. I like to have a little bit of time to settle in.</p>
<p>When’s the formal rush for fraternities?</p>

<p>The dorms are closed for winter break. They will reopen Jan 14, so you can return any time after that, but most people will return the day before classes.</p>
<p>For fraternities, formal rush is far different than it is for sororities. It also doesn’t start until classes start in the spring.</p>
<p>As a girl, you’d rush every sorority, and it’s very cohesive.
As a guy, you pick which fraternities you want to rush, and it’s not cohesive.</p>
<p>(By cohesive, I mean the sororities team up and work together. The fraternities all sort of do their own thing).</p>
