I actually do see a different reason for deferred rush. I go to a school which has 15 different locals on campus, and if you are a freshman, you are not allowed to rush until second semester. I know for me, as well as many other people this was a great benefit, as it allowed us to get to know members of different sororities, as well as find a place where we would fit in, and feel at home.
It really helps eliminate the number of people that go through rush, get a bid, and end up depledging because they realized later that they weren't in the right place. For me, when it came time to rush, I pretty much knew which sororities would be the ones I would want to join, and I'm now a very active member in my number one choice.
We do have fall rush, but it is for upperclassmen only, and is generally more low key than spring rush.
