If this person was truely worthy of being a brother, you would wait till he was in school to give him a bid.
I think the reason there is no term for this is because it's not done. Or it's so rare that it's not worth naming. Why don't you stick to searching for quality college educated men then wait for some guy to enroll in your college you can pledge him.

*Most* of the guys who rush, rush during the summer and may be extended bids anytime during that... Guys move into houses right before school starts.
The early rushing usually happens with the local guys who go to highschool here. Since March, many fraternities here have been having rush parties bringing future students from all over missouri... (they contact guys on the massive rush list created by everyone who checked "yes" for greek life on their mizzou application) It's just like anything else you do.. If you do it early, you get more time and thus better results.
I don't think theres anything wrong with an early bid. It'd be the same as bidding someone during the summer, just a little earlier. Mizzou's greek system is very competitive and if you don't snatch up a quality rushee, one of the other 27 fraternities will.
