For example, say a girl decides to go through formal rush her sophomore year *because* of the friends she met in her dorm her freshman year. She has to wait until formal - the 2nd semester - because COB is not an option due to all chapters are above total. Thus she wouldn't be able to hang out with her friends least it be breaking the rules?

We have deferred rush at Valpo - recruitment is the first week back in class for the spring semester, in January. Lucky for us we have a "sorority dorm" where we each have a hallway to live on and chapter rooms on the first floor - it gets cold in northwest Indiana! Anyway, we're allowed to talk to freshmen all the way up until we leave on Christmas break. The same thing for sophomores who are rushing. So essentially, you can talk to and make friends with as many freshman as you want, and this definitely does happen, I think everyone here gets quite a few girls that way. The upside is its nice from both ends to see a friendly face. The downside is that girls definitely go into recruitment saying "I'm going to be an ABC b/c I hung out with them this fall."
