I think second semester freshmen might be a better time to do it though - making everybody wait till they are sophs seems a little too long. I didn't go through till I was a sophomore, but I wasn't ready till then. If there is a problem with women only wanting certain houses, either it's a Panhellenic problem, or the sororities have to reach out to more different kinds of women, not just those who want to be in the superbig, superpopular sorority.
I think the "rush first semester or you won't get a bid" ethos is far worse than deferred rush.

33girl, at Lock Haven, there's a rule that states that first semester freshmen can't get a bid. But, they can go to events to look around at the different organizations. LHU's administration made it so that men/women who want to rush MUST have 12 credits and at least a 2.0. But, as you know, each organization has a different GPA for their NMs.
