As someone who was an older rushee, I wish I'd have more time to spend with my sorority! If rush is deferred till sophomore year, NMs are losing out on a whole year of fun activities and sisterhood. Plus, it is SO HARD as a junior pledge. My classes are 10X harder than freshmen's. I like the idea of rushing before school starts freshman year, I just wish that the school had advertised greek life and deadlines a little more (so many girls just don't know about greek life if their parents/sisters weren't greek).
What I don't like about the way that my school does rush is that it only happens once a year. If you miss out on fall rush, there is no spring rush to go to. Most of my guy friends waited freshman year to rush in the spring so that they knew the guys more in each fraternity. There are soo many fraternities (high 20s) that if you don't know which to go to during rush, you'd be lost.
