You do realize, though, that at the U of Alabama, most of those rules are broken by most of the houses. And you probably know that the Panhellenic Council turns a blind eye to all but the very worst infractions. Most of the houses spend well over $10,000 on rush, many between $20,000-$40,000 per year. The no contact rule is definitely broken by 100% of the houses on campus. How many summer rush parties or teas did you attend when you went through rush? I remember attending various sorority & fraternity parties thoughout the summer before I pledged and a few mother-daughter teas as well.
I think a good question to ask here is not what the rules are at the various schools, but whether or not they are enforced!

I was about to say that--a girl I graduated HS with was basically "dirty rushed" by one sorority starting in FEBRUARY of our senior year by a sorority at Bama. She started school that summer and spent almost every night hanging out with them. Although if I remember correctly, she very nearly chose another sorority. So it doesn't always pay to dirty rush!
Auburn's not innocent either, but those sororities that do dirty rush are pretty much just as hardcore. As far as fraternity parties, it's like some sororities use the fraternities hardcore. A cousin of mine in a fraternity here encouraged me to come over here to go to some of their parties
because they knew lots of girls in XYZ and ABC and that way I could meet them and have a leg up during recruitment. I didn't go because I had a job and I was also like, "Why do you care?" One of my most "wtf" moments ever.
