Is it ok to attend rush events if you are not rushing until next semester?

I'm gonna be extremely blunt here: you're in college, and you're an adult. Your parents shouldn't be controlling your decision on whether or not you decide to rush. Instead, it should be one where you make the decision and then inform the parents about it.

That said, if after all circumstances considered, you still decide not to rush, it doesn't hurt to go out, be social, find out some info, and make a few friends anyways. If the chapter really wants you, they'll try to get you next semester.

For some of us, parents were footing the bills and let us know what we could and could not do. Even in college.

If his parents have said, no fraternity until Spring, even though he may not agree, why would he want to go against them and get them angrier? It might be a nail in the coffin that turns the parents against Greek Life totally and even causes them to say: "We're not paying for University of State if you are going to act like this. You can go to Podunk Central State University." I've seen it happen.
