But this change wouldn't come without costs. While the present system is imperfect, the number of girls participating would make running the process while classes were in session pretty challenging. The number of groups and parties mean the process would last a pretty long time because you could have fewer parties a day. While SEC recruitment is less frilly than it used to be, it's still expensive and very time consuming for the girls in the groups. I'm not sure that it would be less stressful for anyone to stretch it out.
Some campuses manage to do it, but if you talk to girls at Ole Miss, I'm not sure recruitment there is a bed of roses.
It's not that I'm particularly opposed to deferred recruitment, but UGA actually did a study and decided against it. Armchair quarterbacking recruitment is fun, but it's a little disrespectful to the people in the trenches to assume that you could do it better when most of us don't even know what goes into to doing it at all. (For the record, I have absolutely no official connection to recruitment at UGA other than writing a few recs.)
