Deferred recruitment Pros and Cons

A few pros and cons on deferred recruitment:

pro : Students get a chance to get settled into college life before making such a large time commitment to a GLO. I think that this helps with retention because if a student barely has the time to keep up with her school work, she will probably drop the sorority.

pro : When PMs are required to have a minimum GPA to go through recrutiment, it helps to weed out those with less than desirable GPAs that will only be trouble down the road.

con : Being at school for a semester allows students to find out more about the Greek System, but this unfortunately includes stereotypes as well. PMs may be less likely to give a house a chance because they've heard that they're not "cool."


I'd like to hear people's opinions on other pros and cons
