Actually, that is the case on some campuses, and not just those where there is only one NPC group. Generally, however, they aren't "big" Greek schools.
The biggest advantage of formal rush, as I see it, is that is forces rushees to consider all their choices. If you're rushing as a freshman, you might think you love XYZ, but we all know people who met the right group for them only after saying XYZ was the only one for them.
I think the outcome would depend on the campus. At a school like mine, where as many folks joined informally as formally, Greeks are for a fun social life and not social ladder climbing, and many sisters are "never thought I'd join" types, it would be a terrific idea and save everyone a lot of trouble with the expense and fuss of formal rush. Other schools, it might not work so well.
