James Is Right

Deferred rush at a state school will be found illegal and unenforcable, if challenged. If you go to the UNC-Chapel Hill Greek Life site, you'll see that the chapters are terribly micro-managed, administrators instructing the chapters even as to exactly when they can/must initiate their members.
I can't fault any university for wanting to make Greeks better, but here is an example where they go past the line and attempt to control all aspects of life. If you BELIEVE that the Greek office can dictate what day you initiate your pledges, then you may believe that they can impose deferred rush. If these administrators do like other schools sometimes do, they'll say that "the faculty" wants to eliminate Greeks altogether or they want a one-year's deferral. Greek life people will present their plan as a "compromise". All you have to do is simply say NO. Almost any restriction of your right to associate is a violation of Federal civil rights law. Just as a magician depends on misdirection and suspension of belief to fool his audience, so do some Greek Life bureaucrats at some schools depend on the same tricks to fool undergrads. There doesn't need to be a discussion. If you don't want deferred rush, all you have to do is refuse to go along. Any punishment of you could make specific administrators liable. I'm not a lawyer; ask one - ask any of them and learn.
