We defer rush till winter quarter. Winter quarter tends to be the least stressful academically for almost all majors, and a lot of people stay on campus due to the weather. Also, it allows houses to use college grades, not high school grades and test scores, to recruit people. The first quarter, the houses have to be VERY hands off on the freshmen, lest we get called for dirty rushing. But freshman boys still go to the fraternities, so do freshmen women, I know I did. But at the same time, I think deferring rush to winter or spring might not be a bad idea...it's one less foreign element in a person's life, they will have developed (hopefully!) time management skills during first quarter, and hopefully have gotten an impression (Good or bad) on greek life on campus. Greek life here is a HUGE deal. So many people (30 % Is what Princeton Review claims, I think it could be more) are involved with it...it's hard not to know someone who is greek.
