Only if the kid had to be part of (i.e. sign up for) formal rush before he can accept his bid. Frankly, it really depends on the particular IFC system and when bids are officially allowed to be extended as well as when bids may officially be accepted. Ideally, a chapter will have a good number (core group) of their pledges locked in prior to fall formal rush. From either guys they met via summer rush events and or guys they already know. These "locked in" guys would not sign up for formal rush since there is no need to do so. But if they "have to", so that they can accept their bid, then they usually only go through the motions until they are allowed to accept their bid.

If so, why would you want to give the other fraternities the opportunity to draw him away from you?

I don't know a chapter that would want this. If a guy doesn't have to sign up for fall formal rush, then it is to the chapter's advantage that he does not do so and only attends that chapter's events.
