The Interfraternity Council makes housing available for men during Rush Week at about $1.50 a night. The fraternities send out rushing invitations during the summer. If you are interested in rushing you should let the Dean of Men's office know of your interest in the spring or early summer. If you're a woman, you can see a list of places to stay during Rush Week in the Dean of Women's office or in the Housing Division. Sorority rushing takes place in June. If you are interested and plan to enter the University in the fall, write to the Dean of Women before you graduate from high school. Fraternity and Sorority service Each chapter house is different in the way sleeping and studying is arranged — some have arrangements where you sleep and study in the same room; others provide large dormitories to sleep in and separate rooms to study in. But in'all cases, you get a bed, a mattress, a pillow, and in some cases you also get bed linen. Your room, of course, is equipped with the basic furniture you'll need. Without exception, fraternity and sorority houses have excellent lounges, and provide food service. 16 A good number of the approved places to live for Illinois students are privately-run homes. If they are approved, they are run according to University standards. There are about 110 of these privately-run student houses to choose from if you are a man student. These 110 take care of about 1250 men students. If you are a woman student, there are about 30 of these houses available to you, all of which take care of about 700 undergraduate women students. The greater number of the men's houses will take care of your rooming problem only, but the greater number of the women's houses take care of both your room and board. According to University standards, rooms in privately-run homes are furnished with single beds, study desks and chairs, dressers or chests of drawers, metal wastebaskets, mirrors, as well as an easy chair, suitable floor coverings, window curtains, and shades. In some of these houses, the operators also furnish bed linens, but in most of them, you'll have to furnish your own bed linen and blankets and arrange for laundering them.
