this topic is right up my alley. first of all, most people who are blind, deaf or have some sort of physical disabilty, should easily fit into the greek system if they so choose.

greek systems are much more likely to have members with emotional disabilities (depression, bi-polar disorder, etc.) then the cognitive/ social disabilities, such as autism. generally speaking, males are more likely to be affected with autism then women. the majority of people with autism also have another diagnosis which impairs them in other ways. for the people with high functioning autism, formally known as asperger's (and again there is a spectrum of the impairment), most would probably not choose to rush. why? the social nature of these groups would be difficult to navigate successfully for a person with a social disability.
