Nope. I'm used to fall recruitment too, and I prefer it. Back in the day, we had immediate fall formal recruitment in August, and for first-semester freshmen we (all the sororities) based our GPA cuts on the PNMs' high school GPAs.
Good academic performance in high school doesn't necessarily mean good academic performance in college. We addressed this by setting the bar higher for high school GPAs. IU has addressed this by having what is essentially a deferred recruitment, with the difference being that the first round takes place before the PNMs have their grades - so the PNMs can't self-select and say "I don't have the minimum GPA for any of the sororities, so I'm going to skip rush and work on bringing up my GPA."
