top houses not trying in spring

A lot of students coming into rush did not attend many pre rush events because we live far away, and because of this I did not know which fraternities were the best on campus. During Spring Rush the top houses give hardly any effort as they don't really care about the springs, because of all the cool guys from the fall. This hurts many springs like me that get convinced that middle tier frats are top houses, and then fill regret after we figure out our house is not a top tier. I think this should change for later years so people don't make same mistake as me.
