I personnaly think that fall formal before school starts rush is nice cause you get it out of the way and at a pac 10 school where there is about 20,000 people its nice to have a group right away.
My only problem with this system is:
Some times women (cant comment on men) go away to school, don't think of greek life. However, they don;t find a place they fit in or maybe they see all the greek women and want to be involved so they go through informal in january.
Problem is that in January the sororities can only accept a small number of PNM (if they are at total) At my school if a chapter was at total they could take 2 PNM, if not at total they could take up to total. Now, the problem is that I think there should be some type of quote system set for informal like for formal in the fall. So lets say 10 sororities and 80 PNM, instead of saying, oh you can only take 2 women, set a quote so they PNMs have every opportunity. So in this senario each of the 10 sororities could take 8 new members. Or some type of system that would allow for the most number of bis being given out.
I like formal in the fall and for women who know they want to join its great, i just think that women should be given more opportunities in spring.I know that they women could wait until fall and go through formal, but if you are lonely or not making a lot of contacts you want to even 4 months more of school can be a long time to wait. I really think it would depend on each campus what is better, and this is only from my school and how we did rush.
