But off the top, I'd suspect it's simply tradition supported by current University policy. I know that all intake processes (I believe this applies to both the NPHC and orgs like Delta Sigma Pi/Pershing Rifles) must be completed by Spring Break each year. I've never heard of a Fall line of any D9 org at Howard, and I'm guessing that is tied to the fact that 5/9 Alpha chapters are located there.
I don't think it's a matter of them not being allowed to have a Fall intake. Considering how long the intake processes are for some orgs, and that others expect aspirants to spend Fall semester getting to know the members... it just isn't feasible.
Hope that helped.

Thanks!

It might not be a rule, but I was once given the impression that it was. (But that was a while ago.)
