I think imsohappythatiama made a point that Indiana is a unique situation. Because of the split-rush schedule with Round One in November and the conclusion of rush in January, grades play a much different factor than at most schools. Most of us, while rushing, didn't have college grades yet (fall rush) or knew what our GPA was (spring rush). At IU they don't know what their grades are yet but those unknown grades do play a part. I think the split-rush schedule also gives rushees a lot of time to find other friends and activities, lose interest, or change their mind and decide Greek life is not for them, which could account for a lot of girls dropping out.

Does anybody know why Indiana uses the split-rush schedule? As far as I know, they're the only school that does things that way. Have they always done it that way, or was there a time when they used a more standard approach to rush?
