At my school, rush is the very first thing new freshmen do. They get to campus about 2 weeks before classes start, and the first of those two weeks is rush.
I didn't like it. For a lot of people, including myself, it was our first time away from home for any length of time, and I really felt like I was thrown in the deep end. I would have liked to have had some time to settle into college life before rushing. It also meant I didn't have a chance to observe my sorority options before rush (i.e. how much do they party, do I see them in the library a lot studying, etc). I would love it if my school held rush between the fall and spring semesters.
OTOH, once classes start up and freshmen start getting involved in activities on campus, they may realize/decide they don't have the time to commit to a sorority, and may therefore decide not to rush.
