<p>lol no. The University doesn’t pay for the mortgage, upkeep, or daily operational expenses of the houses. </p>
<p>However a delayed recruitment like I’m talking about wouldn’t affect the budget of the fraternities. The official start of pledge-ship would still start with the beginning of classes. It would simply require fraternities to participate and use formal rush to offer bids to recruits.</p>
<p>Have rush the week before classes just like the sororities do and just like it used to be done 20+ years ago. This would give the OOS kids a better chance of going through the process on equal terms and garnering a bid to some of the better fraternities on campus.</p>
