To be honest, I can't remember for sure and I can't put my hands on anything that would help me remember, but I think the proposal originated in the National Executive Committee based on legal advice.

My apologies in advance if I'm remembering incorrectly.

That's OK. It just seems like the perfect example of a change to bylaws based on legal advice.

I signed up for rush during summer orientation and I was 17. I was also 17 when I went through rush in the fall, although I had turned 18 by the time I was initiated. I don't remember my parents ever having to sign for anything.
