Penn State to Recruit Later (buried below a report on the success of the school's Dance Marathon)
"Looking forward to next year, Larimer said a "big change" will occur during recruitment periods.
"We voted to push our recruitment back next semester and have it right after homecoming [late October] instead of in September," she said.
Chelsea Diehl, Panhellenic Council vice president of communications, said the council pushed back the recruitment date to give new students additional time to decide if they want to rush.
"We feel that greek life is a positive force, and we want as many people as possible to take part in it," she said. "If incoming freshmen have more of a chance to feel out Penn State and understand what schoolwork is and what they want to do, they will be more apt to want to rush."

Penn State, already one of the later Fall recruitments in the country, has announced plans to wait until after Homecoming to recruit.
Anyone have any thoughts about this?
