The chapters may do it down there, but the type of summer rush I have outlined here is very different from what I hear that Southern Schools use. I obviously don't know because I've never been down to the south or had an opportunity to talk recruitment at length with members of southern chapters. All I know I've learned from GreekChat.
Our summer rush, as I have mentioned is THE major period of new member recruitment. My guess is that at least 95% of all fraternity men at the midwest schools (KU, Nebraska, K-state, Mizzou) join during summer rush.
As I understand Summer rush in the south, it is more of a way to meet guys, maybe sign a couple, but the majority of members are chosen in the fall or winter rush periods. Granted I may be wrong, but this is what I've been led to believe. If I'm wrong WarEagle, then please correct me.
