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.)

Indiana is a HUGE school. As an incoming freshman you spend a good portion of your first semester becoming friends with those living on your floor/quad/neighborhood and classes. These are by majority freshman as well. There were little if no pre-recruitment activities, so little chance to get to know people who will vouch for you.
I believe that everything happens for a reason and that my daughter will be just fine. I also believe that sometimes processes need to be reevaluated for the good of everyone. I think that Indiana's rush process needs to be rethought.
