They don't. "Deferred" means Fall Rush.

Exactly! That's why I had "fall" enclosed in parentheses in my post. Previously, as I understand it, fraternities had their more formal rush the week before school started in addition to the spring and summer pledging mainly for in-state guys. Now, if I've got it right, they can informally offer bids during spring and summer events, but they don't become official until the university's pledge period begins in September. And the fall rush is spread longer during the first month of the fall term to help out-of-staters and those not sure of which fraternity they want to pledge decide which fraternity might be best for them. Things sound so much easier now than they used to be for guys not-in-the-loop to pledge!
