Miami of Ohio used to be a private school and continues to maintain some of the trappings. I can't say why or when Indiana went to deferred rush, but you can be sure that it was imposed by decree. There is NO advantage to the chapters in waiting till second semester. On the other hand, if a Greek system was a terrible influence on freshmen and their grades, then the U. should take steps. But that's hardly ever the case. this is all about control, and padding some administrator's resume.
