lauralaylin, that's very true. There are about 25 NIC fraternities, 5 NPC sororities, 6 independent living groups (sort of like local fraternities - one all-women, the rest coed), and 3 NPHC groups. In my day, AEPhi was very close with a couple of fraternities and relatively close to maybe 3 or 4 more; if that's still the case, definitely the guys can talk us up!
I haven't heard anything about deferred rush ending, but when they moved from fall to spring formal rush, quota went from 30-32 down to low-to-mid 20's, so I think it would be a good idea to go back to fall FR from a numbers perspective (for everyone, not just AEPhi).
