Eating club recruitment is (very) deferred to sophomore spring, which is another reason the administration doesn't fight it so hard. It also offers guaranteed placement.
No, other clubs would never be asked to defer, but the fact is that the administration views purely social clubs differently. They view political, athletic, artistic, and affinity clubs as benefiting the university as a whole, while (non-NPHC) GLOs only benefit their members. Further, they think that it's a very different thing for a freshman to come in and immediately be categorized by a selective arts group as a quality or substandard dancer than to be categorized by a GLO as a quality or substandard friend.
Not saying whether they're right or wrong, but that's their view.
