Maybe, but I've never heard of a fraternity doing this, so it sounds like it's not a universal fraternity perspective either.

It's not unusual for men to hold full or part time jobs while going to school. Nor is it unusual for men to drop out for a semester and work, maybe in town or maybe on campus.

You say this like it's unusual for women to do this. It's not. It's just that we have rules against non-enrolled students being active in our sororities.

And in fact, more and more colleges and universities are operating year-round. Not long ago, fraternities got a free pass in he summer because the chapters weren't in session. Not now. Now - at least in Florida's public universities - many IFCs are fully operational in the summer.

That is a legit difference. However even when school is in summer session here, it's not "normal' classes and none of the "normal" rules apply for fraternities OR sororities.
Nothing new here.

Men's rush is open and aggressive, competitive. In an open system the rushees are not brought to our doors. If we don't hustle in the summer, we fail. It's a good idea to have a man in charge who is responsible to lead the chapter and get the job done. If we can pay him, all the better.

I'm surprised you didn't say "virile." Could you have more stereotypes in your post?
