The rest of the year we can focus on Sisterhood, community service, academics, social, campus activities, etc. A chapter that is constantly in recruitment mode is not able to focus on the other important aspects of why you wanted to be in a sorority to begin with.

Only at schools where girls know they want to rush. My school had formal rush for about 10 years while there were still two NPCs. Quota was usually TWO. Then after formal each house except for the weaker NPC would COB 8 or 9 more girls. Having now eliminated formal after losing the weaker NPC, houses consistently get 8 girls in fall and 5 girls in spring. Not every school is like Wisconsin or Alabama or UCLA where girls
want to rush. I still think you can have a very quality sisterhood experience while COBing throughout the year. That way you know you who has a real sisterhood, and who just fakes it for two weeks to impress freshmen.
