iub ifc reminds men that time remains to rush

The Interfraternity Council at Indiana University's flagship campus at Bloomington are holding a session soon to remind the student body (or rather, the half that is eligible) that rush isn't limited to the fall, and that there's still time to go greek. In contrast with many schools where the spring rush is less organized than the main autumn season, the IFC Vice President for Recruitment TJ Blair opined that "the fall rush event, typically held in Dunn Meadow, is more social and informal," while the spring rush involves touring a series of open houses. The applicant pool is still rather smaller in the spring, keeping with the experience of most campuses.

Some students, having already signed housing contracts for the upcoming year, are apprently fearful their commitments would prevent them from pursuing a fraternity. Seeking to allay such fears, Mr Blair announced rather precipitously that “it’s a misconception,” and that “most houses will help you get out of a lease.” Dangerous sentiments, since that policy sounds an awful lot like tortious interference with a contract. And that's against the law.
