That's the difference. I would rather someone wait for a semester or a year and make a better decision, rather than join a semester early and get so burnt out or disillusioned that they want nothing to do with Greek life by their senior year, let alone as an alum. I'm not saying that's the norm, but it certainly seems to happen quite a bit (from a female perspective - I think for guys it's not quite as bad).
If they're taking courses that say you should only have x amount of hours spent on outside activities - that's stupid not just for Greek life reasons. That sounds like a power play by the athletic department to make sure athletes don't join any other groups.

As I said in the other thread, if that's how you feel, and your feeling is the feeling of the chapter, then your chapter should do that. It is wrong for an administration to force it or even try and push it onto you.
I have a feeling most sororities would downright accept any campus regulation like this but fraternities would put up a fight.
