I can only speak from my knowledge about Alabama and Auburn, but yes, that's the way it's done there. Doesn't make it perfect, but it fits in those 2 places. Both schools have done it both after classes start and before. Right now, before works best. If you wait until after classes start, there are all sorts of issues involving girls (sorority members AND rushees) who can't get to parties because of classes. Sorority members generally have to stay up late and work very hard, and that is a big problem when you factor classes into the mix.
It's the best way NPC has found to match a huge number of potential members to groups. It's not perfect. It's always changing.
