I understand your point that you shouldn't have to do it because the admin says so and I agree - but maybe if everyone would stop freaking out every time it's mentioned the admin would realize how really ineffectual it is as far as any sort of control mechanism.
I mean, Erik's post sounds like "OMG if we don't get them first semester all the fraternities will wither and die." I don't think that's the case.

And you're welcome to not think it's the case. For many others though, they don't think this way. I myself do not want an administration to interfere with how my chapter is run if we follow the laws and rules of the university. The danger is not only that they're controlling when we rush but that they are controlling more and more of what we do.
You did say you don't want people who will join just for a social reason and that this might weed them out. I don't even know how this is possible... Do people all of a sudden stop joining for social reasons after first semester?
Anyway, as for Colorado's problems, they are shifting their own risk management issues onto the Greek system. They need to attack those problems first instead of looking for people to blame.
