Yes, but look at what that means Sheila, it means that most groups in schools that don't have deferred Rush have no problems with numbers, in fact they are so fluffed out they can discriminate against upper classmen.

I don't think they don't have problems with numbers because rush is first semester, I think they don't have problems because Greek life is more popular. Rush is deferred at IU & they certainly don't have numbers issues for the most part.
I just have problems with the concept of making a lifetime commitment before you have even taken a college class. Maybe it works for some, but it certainly doesn't for others. And to me it kind of sucks that a lot of women who would be great in sororities and wonderful sisters don't get the chance because they don't want to put themselves out there before their college life even starts.
I think James and Firehouse are looking at this from a guys' point of view and I'm looking at it from the girls' point (duh). Guys' rush is much more laid back and I think fraternity life in general is - it's just different than a sorority. Clarion used to have first semester rush for guys and deferred for girls. I know it was not the greatest in terms of equal opportunity but sometimes I think they weren't altogether wrong.
and umm, I don't know what AI has to do with any of this.
