going to the bars in that all too critical first semester? and is the board of trustees/administration going to curtail those activities too? and are the parents concerned about those activities taking up their kid's time?

I agree with FSUZeta.
Incoming freshman often select their college based on various potential campus experiences in addition to their academic pursuits. Greek life can/may be one of them.
If deferred rush is to help kids academically, help develop friendships or whatever else it is purposed to do, then why not deffer all extracurricular activities as well?
And to be clear, I'm not talking about incoming freshman on scholarship (such as the student-athlete or theatre major on scholarship) but the incoming freshman who wants to participate in plays, marching band, intramural sports, student government, religious organization, political clubs, dorm councils in addition to their academic pursuits.
These activities, clubs, groups make for a well rounded college experience.
Frankly, I don't understand how one extracurricular activity (Greek life) should be differed while others are not.
