I think whether deferred works depends on the campus culture. FuzzieAlum's alma mater is, from what I've heard, a very academically intense school - hell, I'd be afraid to get involved with the library club before I knew for sure what my classes would be like.
I think deferred is the greatest thing since sliced bread, just because I've seen too many people quit/transfer their first semester. However, keep in mind when I say deferred, I'm NOT referring to any of this silliness where the freshmen can't talk to Greeks for a semester, can't attend parties, can't talk to them in dorms, etc. Just let everyone interact normally and it will probably do a lot to help the freshmen get past the stereotypes.
And I completely agree with DWAlphaGam, if you go through rush with a completely closed mind and think that it would be "beneath" you to look at certain groups, sorry, but I'm not going to shed any tears for you.
