In many ways, it is still like that. However, most HQ's (and many universities) now require more structure and regulation in the pledge period. As such, not all chapters have the luxury to take pledges year round. And in some situations, those men that receive a bid "outside" of the normal bidding period might be held over until the following pledge training. A down side is that since they have not been initiated, the rushee might de-pledge and attempt to pledge another fraternity the following semester. Or depending on the campus rules, the chapter could resend the bid.
