I can't compare/contrast with formal recruitment held in the fall, but I did go to a school with formal recruitment held the first week of school in January.
I don't know that there were really many blatant dirty rush type infractions. Instead, it was more likely for both the PNMs and actives to more or less know who would be in which sorority. There were always rumors of certain chapters giving out oral bids, but I don't recall any actual drama that would result from such infractions. In general, the big issue is that having an entire semester to befriend active sisters means PNMs can both know what sorority is their best fit and be even more drawn into tent talk and only be interested in chapters that they THINK are their best fit. Like any system, formal recruitment in the winter has its major ups and downs. Especially the whole waiting outside in the snow part. Major down.
