For those colleges with fall recruitment, those stereotypes are probably passed on from PNMs with older friends, whether in GLOs or not, at the college to PNMs with no connections to the Greek system. Also, PNMs fill everyone else in on what happened at the parties they attended, so if PNM #1 goes to GLO 1st and tells PNM #2 how great they are, PNM #2 will already give them the benefit of the doubt.
I always assumed that deferred recruitment benefitted the GLOs in that any stereotypes would be proved or dispelled during the fall semester. It must be hard though to be on your best behavior for a whole semester! Does a lot of dirty rushing go on?
About 9 years ago, Ole Miss starting recruitment after the final drop date. [From what I heard, so many PNMs would drop out of Ole Miss if they had a bad experience/didn't get their top choice/etc.] This year, according to OleMissGlitter, it's Oct. 2-6. Recruiting this way kind of gets the best AND the worst of each system!
(Do I get any brownie points for using "recruitment" because it's hard for me to remember, too?!?)
