The Inter-Fraternity Council is running a tighter ship during rush this year.
IFC officials said they plan to be more strict about the invite and final hours portions of the rush process, working closely with the Housing Division to ensure that fraternities act in accordance with University policies while extending invites and bids.
During final hours tomorrow night, the 16 IFC board members, along with 14 other men who perform duties for the IFC, including judges and party patrol, will be present in each of the 30 IFC fraternities.
"We want to be there in order to make sure that the rushees have the opportunity to go to all of their choice houses without any interference," IFC spokesperson Scott Cohen said.
Cohen added that the IFC also was involved more in the first days of open house than in previous years, checking rushees off to make sure they were paid for and registered.
"This makes it easier to keep track of the men, rather then having a free-for-all," Cohen said.
Also, the IFC, in conjunction with the Housing Division, now is complying with the official University Housing Division guest policies.
According to the guest policy, no person is allowed to go unescorted into University dorms without a resident of that dorm.
Patrica Amberly, fourth-year College student and co-chair of the residence staff, said the Housing Division's main concern this year was the IFC rush invite process.
