Also deferred (and private), I believe: Penn, Harvard, Cornell, Stanford, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Case Western Reserve, Washington - St. Louis, and Brown, to mention a few.

Due to recent drinking/hazing at fraternities, ironically, the sororities are now deferred. I have heard of one chapter being so hurt by it. I like fall formal recruitment, that way things aren't based on reputation so much and a house has a better chance of recovering.

From the PNM, who MAY be more superficial, focusing on the status, not the members themselves, they may find this good.
