DGTITY????
Quite honestly, I think a lot of fraternities wouldn't mind a kickoff event where rushees visit each group at least once - I think a lot of guys' groups get dismissed without the rushee even thinking about them. However, at some schools the amount of fraternities is so ginormous that this just isn't possible.
If achieving quota and total were eradicated as a measure of "success" for sororities, I don't think anyone would have a problem having rush in the manner you suggest. However, that has to happen first, and the Devil will be learning to ice skate before that occurs. All the groups would lose too many chapters.
Also, I've said this before: on the whole, men believe they make the fraternity. Women believe the sorority makes them. Honestly, that is just a male/female thing and you can't rewire the human brain. Even if you go to MIT.
If you do better with spring rush, that's fine. If you "edit" yourselves and pretend you're something you're not for formal rush, then that's your choice. Your national is one of the most open and accepting of going outside the campus rush style, so quite frankly I don't know what the hell you're complaining about.
