[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that happens often at Indiana- though I don't know how to quantify often. My dd will be a freshman there next year and that is something that has come up. Luckily rush is not until second semester, but I do worry about how that scenario could impact her freshman experience.

So based on my extremely limited heresay, I'd say it happens frequently. [/quote]

I heard same about Indiana! But I do love that it's spring rush. [/quote]

I also love the concept of spring rush.  IMO there should not be fall rush for freshman.  They should be allowed to explore their interests, actually meet people on their own, get settled in academics (it is college after all), and then once they have forged a path, decide if rushing is the right thing for them.

I attended a Big 10 school that used to do Rush starting during new student week freshman year.  So you started rush 2 days after arriving on campus, before you'd even sat in a class at college or had the chance to really make any friends (it was day 3 that rush started).  I was happy when they switched it a few years later to spring rush.
