The Greek Advisor at Colorado State would appear to agree with some of us on the theory of deferred rush:

CSU Greek Life: Postponing Rush won't solve problems
by Megan Read
CSU's director of Greek Life, Mark Koepsell,
disagrees with Byyny's decision to postpone Rush
until second semester and does not think it will
solve various alcohol problems that are
associated with some fraternities and sororities.
"Deferred recruitment is only something to
consider if the fraternity or sorority chapter is
consistently underachieving academically. I don't
think deferred recruitment will have an impact on
alcohol culture because the situation in Boulder
could have happened first or second semester,"
Koepsell said.
Charles Huntsman, CSU's Greek Life vice
president, added that Rush in the fall gets
students heavily involved in campus activities
right away and postponing it until second
semester may discourage that.
"Deferred recruitment might get students more
familiar with the campus, but students who join
Greek Life always get involved immediately,"
Huntsman said.
