Bitching about deferred just sounds to me like "OMG...If we don't grab them right away they'll do other stuff!! They won't be able to adjust to college life!! OMG OMG OMGWTFBBQ!!" Fraternity and sorority membership is NOT like joining other clubs on campus - it is a lifetime commitment, and should be treated with a gravity commensurate with that. The NPHC seems to be doing way better with that part of it than the NPC and NIC groups, and you certainly don't hear them bitching about deferred rush.

Why should we help the rights of "first gen" college students? We're not organized to be a group f frist gen students, we're organized to be fraternity brothers.
being first gen or not doesn't really matter if you're being discriminated against, and allowing students to join some groups right away but not others is discrimination.
