I've seen both, and I have to admit that I prefer the idea of rushing prior to the academic term. Especially in a small sorority, many of the sorority women experience a drop in grades when they are preparing for rush party after rush party.
Our rush was about a month into school - not really deferred that much, but by then, MANY of the fraternity guys would ask you which houses you were rushing, and which of those they'd chose. That goes a long way with a freshman.
On the other hand, a sorority could bid someone who had it all - including the roundest heels on campus! So, it's not just a negative that the PNM may find out reputations of the different GLOs; the reverse is also true.
The bottom line is, I'll be all for any rush that doesn't allow cheesecake!
