I think you might be right on with the small campus distinction. While I particularly don't think this is the best way to recruit women because in the end women don't feel as "chosen" as they should (I think that randomly chatting with girls at campus functions is slightly more natural), this was something done by groups quite frequently on my campus, also fairly small where random people often would talk to you if you left your door open. We called it "dorm storming" though. It didn't have quite the door-to-door salesman connotations on our campus (nor does it sound like it was taken that way on your campus). Like I said, I don't think it is one of the best ways, but it certainly isn't perceived as completely weird on every campus.
