If a school is still doing this, they are stupid (and if I'm not mistaken, going against the latest advisories in the Green Book). This ruins one of the main objectives of deferred recruitment...which is for potential rushees to get to know sorority women in normal day to day life, not in a ridiculously structured "party" environment. That way when Freddy Fraternity says that Sorority A is full of snobs, you'll know this is BS, because Andrea A is in a class with you and helped you find the student center when you lost your campus map. If Andrea isn't allowed to speak to you as a fellow human for 4 months, it only enforces any stereotypes.
Plus, most of these dumb rules said that sorority members specifically can't speak to freshmen. This is outright discrimination...it implies that freshmen are the only ones rushing.
And not only that....are these rushees in convent school? Do you honestly think girls rushing at SEC schools (pre-freshman rush) haven't heard as much, if not MORE, from the guys in their orbit as they have from the girls?
First semester freshman rush does not prevent tent talk. PERIOD. The only thing that prevents tent talk is a truly unified Greek community that doesn't permit it to happen. If women come in from HS spouting it, they need to be told, "I know your family/friends/boyfriend/random website said X, and Y, and Z, but we are all part of a Greek family here. We don't talk smack about our family."
