My advice to the original poster would be to arrange your priorities in that order. You might also find that "transitioning into Greekdom," before you "transition into college," may be overwhelming.
Good luck and remember your real purpose.

I have heard arguments on both sides of this. I see a lot of benefits for pledging before the school year begins. You might not transitioned into college, but when you start classes and all the academic stuff you already have a support system. The first year of college is a big change for anyone-- think of all the girls that rush first semester at college--- they get to school, rush, and start classes often within the same week. That is a lot is juggle. At least the guys who pledged during the summer have already met and gotten to know their support system, it is a couple of less things to balance. I would be all for my sons rushing during the summer (ok, so that is 13yrs away!)
And SikeS--Tom gave you some good advice--- can't think of much I would add to that.
