I believe those are the only reasons the sorority would do spring rush, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I will be honest, the very traditional sororities are sometimes known to penalize sophmores because rush is so competitive and it's just one more reason they can use to further the process of elimination. However, that's not to say that if you happened to become friends with women in a particular group or groups and were interested in being recruited by those houses, those genuine connections and friendships would most certainly help you out.

I hope this helps. Feel free to holler if you have other questions.

Also if a chapter loses girls to mid-term graduation and is still under chapter total....
