The University of Michigan administration has dropped it's push to move to deferred recruitment after a huge backlash from alumnae (big donators!).

I think how much it hurts the chapters depends on the campus. At the U of Mich, for example, chapters would have a very hard time filling their houses if they had deferred recruitment. Leases are signed in January and February for the following academic year for all of the housing in the area. Therefore, if a freshman was going through recruitment in January and February, they wouldn't be sure whether they would get in and be initiated, so they would sign leases for off campus housing for the following fall before they knew what their Greek affiliation would be, if any. That would mean that you would have no sophomores or freshman living in the GLO houses. That would hurt a lot financially.
