At Duke we have deferred recruitment (formal recruitment in January). Though there are pros and cons to this system, one major benefit is you become friends with freshmen women your first semester in college without any letters attached to you. Some of them ended up pledging DG with me, but others joined other sororities or stayed independent. I've maintained closer friendships with some of them (Pi Phis and Tri Deltas) than some women in my own pledge class!
Oh, and we also don't have sorority housing at Duke so often times DGs lived with their friends in other sororities. Then when you went to hang out with your sister you'd meet even more sorority women. It definitely strengthened Greek unity.
