We had sophomore rush when I pledged, and I thought it was a good idea, at the time. But then as an active, I met so many nice freshmen women that I would've loved to have in my chapter, but they had to wait to pledge, and then things get off track and what not. Finally in 1996, we changed from being a sophomore, to having regular deferred recruitment, where the women rush as second semester freshmen. It hasn't really changed things numbers wise, but it gets more girls interested earlier on.
