I wish people wouldn't assume that just because the Divine Nine are the Divine Nine that their intake process is the same throughout all 9 orgs.
And as far as other organizations besides the 9 doing it, I know Latino Greeks and Asian Greeks do similar things.
For PDPsi, we have a Rush, but it is not part of some large orchestrated thing like Panhel and IFC do (where different orgs have events on different days, etc.) And as for writing letters to people, I didn't know that was even allowed.
As for large pledge classes...the larger you are, the less you know everyone well. I know some people like the larger orgs, but one of the things that bothered me was that I might be part of a huge pledge class, and that I wouldn't really get to bond with them during that time period.
And how is it strange that people do things differently??? I'm gonna ignore that one.
