Second semester recruitment has a lot of benefits but I disagree with the reasoning given by the former Bama president. GLOs are exclusive organizations but you make friends in other GLOs and it doesn't prevent you from making GDI friends either. Most of our spring pledge class is guys that were friends or roommates with our fall guys. Why don't sororities have fall and spring rush?
