my problem with formal rush (which we have) is that it in my experience encourages dirty rushing... In our system, every fraternity has one 2 hour event each day for 4 days, and the 5th is bid day... before formal rush, we aren't supposed to advertise the fraternity, and we aren't allowed to give bids until bid day... from that point on, it is a free for all... now, the problem I see with this is that the fraternities that follow the rules take the shaft, because they are doing what they are told, and the rest of the fraternities see who can throw the biggest and best parties, thereby drawing many prospects away from everyone else... To complicate the whole system, we don't have greek housing, so the parties are all off campus, and hard to monitor... every semester gets worse than the last... if it were just open rush from day one, every fraternity would stand on the same ground, and it would be those who most actively recruit that would get the most and best guys... not the chapters that break the rules and throw the best parties in the first week of school.
