If nothing else, they get to meet members of the fraternity that's stereotyped as the nerds/stoners/jocks or whatever and maybe will think twice before applying those stereotypes when they have actually met the people.

Right. This is nowhere near Panhel-style rush. But it helps IFC run things more smoothly and helps smooth out the playing field a bit: guys who don't have the grades can't rush, each fraternity has at least the CHANCE to meet every guy going through rush, and the rushees can ask their "Rho Chis" any controversial questions they might have instead of ruining their chances with a house by doing the same. It's definitely NOT like Panhel rush -- if a guy doesn't like a house, he doesn't have to go back after the "first round." The only thing it really changes is the first set of parties. After that, it's back to traditional fraternity rush.
