So if recruitment gets dragged out, the women start to get settled into their college life, and they are less than greatly enthused about their invites... You start to lose people.

A woman shouldn't feel she has to choose between those things and Greek life, or that those things are the same as Greek life. If she uses "I didn't like the groups I got and anyway my dorm mates are so much more awesome" as an excuse to drop out, she's not ready to be in a sorority. Maybe she'll come back in a year when she's grown up a little and go through rush again. If not, it's not really any loss to the system IMO.
