Does anyone know where I can find out what schools have rush second semester?
 

I know most schools rush in the fall but does anyone know where i can find a list of schools that have deferred rush? meaning they have formal rush in the spring instead of the fall. or if you know of any schools that have rush second semester just let me know. thanks!

My school, Eastern Kentucky University does, and I believe Centre College (also in Kentucky) does.


I cant speak for Centre, but EKU has the formal NPC rush in the fall. Then all chapters have a more relaxed rush in the Spring. There are still NPC recruitment rules, but they arent as strict as in the fall, and you go to the parties you want to go to, instead of following a schedule like fall rush. But preference night is by invitation only though (atleast it is for Theta).

It would probably be easier to pick the schools you are interested in and then contact their Greek life office or look on the websites. There isn't a list on the NPC website or anything. Some sororities do have lists on their national pages, but of course that is limited to only the schools where that sorority has a chapter.

Georgetown College has deferred rush. It is formal. They have been playing with idea of informal in the fall.

ETA: The sororities are AGD, KD, PM, SK
The frats are PHA (local), Phi Tau, KA, Pike, Lamba Chi Alpha

Well, since you're at SMU, you know they do--last I heard, so did TCU and Baylor. Out of state, there are several Eastern universities like Vandy, Washington and Lee, Duke, and Wake Forest.

In Wisconsin I know both Marquette and Lawrence do, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other private schools did the same. In Illinois, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Northwestern.

Miami University in Ohio has rush in January

Indiana University-Bloomington has semi-deferred recruitment. The whole process begins with round 1 (19 sororities to visit!) in november. The rest of recruitment takes place in January the week before classes start for the spring semester. It's one wacky system :)

Washington University in St. Louis has deferred recruitment. I also know that among schools not mentioned yet, Purdue U. does recruitment like Indiana (with a period in the fall and spring). And I'm almost certain Emory U. in Atlanta does deferred as well.
A good place to check out more schools with defferred formal recruitment is to look at the national Delta Gamma website (www.deltagamma.org/). They have a listing of when all of their chapters do formal recruitment.

Hope you find more schools that way!

The Northeast is the home of deferred rush cause hey when its freezing and snowing there is no better time for formal recruitment!

Some NE schools that have deferred rush (and awesome Alpha Phi chpaters!) are:
MA
Bentley
Boston Univ.
MIT
Tufts

NY
Cornell
Univ at Albany
Binghamton Univeristy
Univ at Buffalo
Cortland
Plattsburgh
Syracuse

University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA has Jan. formal recruitment.

Valparaiso University (NW Indiana) has deferred formal recruitment. The seven sororities there are:
Alpha Delta Pi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi

We also do informal recruitment in the fall (one week long, NPC rules, but each sorority determines the number of parties they have (if any))

spring recruitment
 

Baylor and Southwestern (I think) are two in Texas.
Baylor has
Alpha Chi
ADPi
Chi O
Tri Delt
KD
Kappa
Theta
Zeta
Pi Phi

Second semester recruitment
 

Vanderbilt has second semester recruitment. However, they have a first round house tours in the fall semester.
Silver

Marist has formal rush in the spring. We have a rush in the fall too but since freshmen aren't allowed to rush in the first semester, the turnout to that is usually small. This year we had 7 rushees. Some years we have even less than that. The sororities that we have are: Alpha Sigma Tau, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Lambda Psi :D (guess which one am I? LOL, we're a local but we follow NPC bylaws), Sigma Gamma Rho, and Sigma Sigma Sigma.

Purdue has deferred recruitment. I wish we didn't, but we do.

This year we are trying something new. We're having Open Houses on November 15-16. Then the girls will do rankings. But the rest of recruitment won't be until January. We're a little nervous that a lot of girls are going to drop over Christmas vacation and decide not to come back.

But on the plus side, IFC and Panhel have had an AWESOME Go Greek campaign this year and numbers are actually up! So we're very excited :)

Re: spring recruitment
 

Yup. Both of my boyfriends brothers are Southwestern boys. One is an alum (and Kappa Sig), the other is a freshman. He may or may not be rushing in January.

I don't think you'll find a definitive list of schools with deferred rush anywhere. My college, Washington and Lee University, has it.

*VERY GENERALLY* larger state schools tend to do it in the fall (often for reasons involving houses). Smaller, liberal arts colleges are more likely to do it in the winter. But that is by no means definitive.

Furman University does. There we have ADPi, DG, KD, Kappa, Chi O, and Tri Delt

Add my college to the list!!

Richard Stockton College of New Jersey

even though we are a small school, and no one has really heard of us, but hey-we still count!!

out school actually has strict rules about rush. we have informal in the fall, but can't take any 1st semster freshman. you need to have 16 credits before you can even fill out an interest form, which kinda sucks.

In Arkansas....
 

I know Univ. of Central Arkansas does deferred formal, and so does U of AR Monticello.
That's the only two I know of right off the top of my head.....

Yup, Emory has deferred recruitment.

University of Maryland has spring (deferred) rush.

Too many sororities to list and I wouldn't be able to remember them I don't think.

Loyola-New Orleans does spring formal rush. We only have informal recruitment for upperclassmen in the fall.

West Virginia Wesleyan College has deferred rush. We have informal rush in the fall, which is just two round robin nights and we can fill to total. Freshmen aren't allowed to rush in the fall, but they are invited to a sorority Christmas party right before break so they have a chance to talk to their parents about it when they go home. Then in February we have our formal rush.

We have 4 NPC fraternities:
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Xi Delta
Zeta Tau Alpha

University of Richmond in VA has deferred recruitment. They have informal in the fall, but freshmen can't rush until January.

Mercer has formal in the fall, but if houses are below total in the spring then they can COB up to total through informal. All but one house did this last year.
