PanPres
There are numerous reasons for more dedicated rushees. For our rush as with most (I assume) there is a minimum GPA requirement, when we had formal rush in the fall we used their highschool last semester GPA, now we are able to use their first semester GPA. Freshman now this, and those who truly desire to join a house will make sure that their GPA is high enough.
Also, by time second semester rolls around many freshman have already made a circle of friends. Hence, only those who really want to be a part of the greek system and of particular houses rush. This cuts back on those who go through rush because everyone is doing it.
At first our campus was shocked at the number cut we took when deferred rush took place. However, when you think of the number of those who drop out, or who are cut due to grads, etc... During deferred rush we only lost two of the girls who went through, the rest joined houses.
If you have any more q's let me know.
Love Ya,
Kymberleigh
