Agree. I helped a girl last year from out West who was totally unfamiliar with anything sorority. She was stunned by the "designer dorm rooms" that are the norm for Southern girls. She was quiet by nature so the six weeks pre-rush really helped her a lot. Pledged a house she loved. Not sure how well she would have done otherwise.
That said, I can't imagine doing this during school from either side. One thing I loved about rush - being the week before classes - was how relaxed and fun it was. I think it would be harder to be relaxed with classes going on.
