This isn't peculiar to IU. Schedules are adjusted at most schools to accommodate women who participate in sports, theater, music and Saturday classes.
How chapters evaluate those women is part of membership selection and it's private.
However, looking at it from the outside I would say this: One of the advantages of winter recruitment is that you have time to get to know people and they will vouch for you. I'm sure that cheerleaders in sororities vouched for the PNM cheerleaders that they like. (This can also work against the PNMs. If they did something stupid during their first semester, everybody hears about that as well.)
