I agree with Lana about transfers and such. I would hate to give a bid to a first semester freshman, have the chapter spend all that time on her and then have her say "I didn't make grades/miss my boyfriend/don't have money/hate the school so I'm not coming back."
I think second semester freshmen might be a better time to do it though - making everybody wait till they are sophs seems a little too long. I didn't go through till I was a sophomore, but I wasn't ready till then. If there is a problem with women only wanting certain houses, either it's a Panhellenic problem, or the sororities have to reach out to more different kinds of women, not just those who want to be in the superbig, superpopular sorority.
I think the "rush first semester or you won't get a bid" ethos is far worse than deferred rush.
