I think rush in the first semester can be good or bad. Good in a sense that they haven't heard the stories/rumors or all of the stereotypes yet. It can be bad though because they really don't get to know the brothers, even though we have an extra long rush of 7 weeks (8 my freshman year!), with all of the rules and regs, it's hard to completely be yourself around the prospectives, and some chapters put on a major front. Then guys are dissapointed with their decision. By then it's too late because most of the chapters won't take someone who picked somebody else over them once already, mostly since it's such a small system of only 8 fraternities, 2 of which together are about the size of the biggest house on campus.
