The freshman/sophomore debate is the same as the fall to spring recruitment argument. What does it matter your age if you're a good student and make friends with the girls? It's really sad when I hear about sororities that won't do spring recruitment, why should reaching "quota" be enough? I believe it's a lie personally because there is this stigma about spring being easy. Yes, fewer girls but they still do the same things as new members. Also, if you don't like them initially why would they be so great in the Spring? That is just another comment I've heard, "try for a bid in the Spring" again like the Spring is the free pass. The 5 or 10 Spring girls become your sister yet there is always the animosity. It really is my pet peeve on things like this. I'm an advocate for deferred rush as it allows you to get to know the person better and possible cuts down the crazy level. As for guys, I think we could all agree Spring rush would be so much better because it leaves the guys who aren't binge drinking or falling the 1st semester.
