I haven't been able to locate Columbia's dates for formal in 2010, and I've searched moderately hard a couple of times so I could report to irishpipes. I'm thinking either 1) I'm searching too sloppily and stupidly; or B) "they" haven't updated the relevant parts of their site quite yet.
The smart money is on 1) above.

Thanks for the update! I helped out with recruitment in 2003 and 2004; at that time it was first semester, and freshmen were allowed to rush. I know there was some chatter about deferring recruitment at that time, but wasn't sure if it had changed. I am not an active Columbia alumna (it was grad school, after all). So like I said, my information may be outdated to some extent.
I wouldn't be surprised if "they" don't update their Greek Life website as much as say an Auburn or Ole Miss. I think a lot more of the information is through word of mouth and information posted on campus boards, etc. So, you are probably searching just fine.

Yeah, there was a freshman who died of alcohol poisoning, which got people all heated up about moving right into the house. During a risk management session in college, they made us listen to the 911 call that the guys made when it became evident that he wasn't waking up. Gross.
