At my school we really don't have a formal fraternity recruitment and practically all the recruiting for guys is done in the summer. If you aren't well organized, prepared, and effortful during the summer you won't pull in a good pledge class. That's why it's so important to have an outstanding individual leading our rush, because he is the one making calls, delegating others to make calls, planning events, and attending to hundreds of guys going through recruitment. If you have one slacker leading your rush, I don't think I can say, "Recruitment went on without me and the chapter did fine."

I think you missed the point of that story.
Life is full of uncertain factors and you never know what will happen. She gave up a chance to study abroad to be rush chair, and then she couldn't do rush chair anyway. What if you get mono or, God forbid, something else happens and you can't be there in the summer?
All I can say is if your fraternity is at the state that you feel you are the ONLY one who can do this position, and that Stevie Slackjaw ran unopposed, rushees are going to pick up on that and your rush is going to be epic fail anyway, even if you do stay and lead it. You can't have one superstar and a bunch of dullards.
