That's OU's IFC rush rules for ya...
The main reason these rules were set is that the IFC allows summer rush, though bids are not officially handed out until formal fall rush. Much like NPC's quota system, there is a cap on how many total pledges you can take in formal rush, generally around fifty to fifty-five; once you reach that total fraternities are not supposed to conduct 'open rush' (NPC = COB) until after spring formal rush. This was intended to keep the houses from aggressively recruiting incoming freshmen, who are required by OU policy to live in on-campus housing if they are under 21.
Mind you, they got off lightly... IFC could have cut their future quota for the following year's rush or flat out bar them from rush. As it was, they faced a $25,000 fine, which was later lowered to $10,000 and social probation added in a plea bargain.
