There is not much difference between COB and Spring Rush. Total is determined at the start of each semester based on median chapter size. Translated this means normally 5 groups can recruit if they are allowed by their own HQ and/or want to. A group can have 1 spot or 20 spots depending on how far from total they are. The Panhellenic at OU helps out by letting PNMs register and distributing the PNMs information to the groups under total. This is a great service for PNMs who haven't made friends in the sororities yet. But a sorority can choose to fill those spots with girls they already know. It makes sense, Why spend time and effort recruiting when you already know a great girl or two to fill those few spots? If you know girls in a sorority AND you they think they might have a spot in Spring, then maybe roll the dice and wait for Spring. But I don't think you would be here asking the question if that was the case. So IMHO I would not wait until Spring. Register for informal recruitment. Get that extra semester of time with your future sisters. Be part of the fall PC. There is no guarantee you will get a bid either way. OU has a strong panhellenic community. Every sorority took 80+ girls this fall. But it is worth the chance. Being greek is better than being GDI. Good Luck! PS. If you don't have connections in any of the sororities, informal rush can sometimes work out better. I know a few smart, beautiful girls with great personalities who were dropped from all groups before pref during formal recruitment, they just slipped through the cracks. During informal you get a much better opportunity to get to know the girls, and for them to get to know you. So in some cases (not all cases) informal can work in your favor.
