I don't see what the big deal is. Rush is a HUGE deal as it will affect you for the rest of your undergrad career. Can you say that for your econ class you went to today? And I mean that individual class, not the course as a whole.

If rush is the epitome of your college experience, I think you have some other issues.
No matter how you slice it, college is for you education, not to join ABC or XYZ organization.
And the OP stated that this class is a required class for his major. At my university, the upper-level classes are taught by a small pool of professors. If you skip, they remember in that class and in subsequent classes. And what happens when he's actually pledging? Are you going to encourage him to skip classes to attend pledge events, since "those 2-3 months are going to determine the rest of his time in college?"
