My immediate thought was that this situation would cause EKT to have an unfair advantage. One commenter mentioned something to this effect, going so far as to call it dirty rushing.
However, the article says that
Quote:
Panhell approached EKT with the idea for the new rush event last year as a way to “stabilize” sorority membership numbers before bringing in a ninth sorority. Other sororities had requested smaller pledge class quotas, and Panhell was concerned that the quota would be smaller than the large number of graduating seniors in EKT, Nicholson said.

In a world where locals are often on the outs, this Panhell seems to be on the right track.
