I'm not sure if they allow deferments, but their website says they're still accepting applications for fall (is this normal for them?), so I don't know if it really matters either way. End of day, big name schools won't have a problem filling slots for fall. My alma mater (UC Berkeley - super-competitive admissions) doesn't normally entertain deferments, and they've made it very clear that policy isn't changing.
Dunno what all this means for recruitment turnout, but end of day, Greeks and PNMs are gonna be resourceful because they have to be. I can see ambitious PNMs viewing a "nontraditional" rush situation as an advantage. If there are people out there who are willing to orchestrate elaborate rush-then-transfer schemes to get into their GLO of choice at the college of their choice, the prospect of online rush is really nothing.
