My guess is that the parties were either heavily advertised toward upperclasswomen or that some freshmen women didn't think they should go to the parties if there wasn't a chance of them getting a bid OR they simply didn't know that these gatherings are good ways to acquaint yourselves with the sororities...
If you really don't know that much about COR and your school has really informal COR events, you wouldn't really "get it" that these events are recruitment. I've heard from girls that went to a COR event and were surprised when they received bids. They had no idea the open house/barbecue/O.C. watching party was actually a recruitment event. If it's that casual, I could imagine that freshmen women wouldn't know to go to these events before formal recruitment.
