I can see both sides of it. I've been a volunteer alum at SMU in Dallas, which has deferred rush. PNM's have made their grades, have checked out the houses and understand Greek Life and the attendant commitment.
That said, SMU is heavily Greek anyway, so there is no falloff of numbers.
Deferred rush should be something the campus Panhellenic decides on after discussion and input from NPC, not the University. I have a problem with the university issuing some edict or proclamation saying when rush can or will take place. It appears to me to be a transparent attempt to cut down the number of college students who become members of GLO's.
Did you know that over 60% of college graduates who regularly donate to their Alma Maters are also GLO members?
I think that translates into a power base of sorts, would you not agree?
