I agree with you to a point...but if someone really wants to be Greek, I think they would pursue it anyways.

And I also agree that different people can handle different loads. People have told me they are amazed at what I can handle in a semester. This semester alone: I am taking 19 hours, I'm working 15 hours a week, I'm in 4 different ensembles as well as as the ASU Saxophone Quartet, and I am VP Membership for SAI. While I can balance all this stuff, not everybody can. And even *I* decided that an NPC sorority was out of the question for me...but for others, they can make it work.

The dean has the right to encourage freshman not to rush, IMO, but he should NOT strictly say not to!
