Do you mean the clubs that don't still do the "bicker" thing?

Five clubs still bicker, but you're guaranteed a place in an eating club if you want one, and if you prefer a sign-in club, you're very likely to get your first choice (and it's random chance if you don't). As we were discussing on another thread, GLO recruitment is by necessity mutually selective and with very rare exceptions they don't have to take you.

And I don't know how Harvard or Princeton work really, but from what I've heard of tomb societies there really isn't a rush period

You may be thinking of secret societies at Yale, which meet in "tombs." They are for seniors only, and they pick ("tap")whomever they want among the juniors to form a very small class for the following year. These clubs are co-ed and thus don't violate any anti-discrimination policies. The real rush process at Yale is a cappella rush. Harvard, in contrast, has final clubs, which are basically local fraternities/men's drinking clubs. Rush, or "punch," is by invitation only. The university has a bitterly antagonistic relationship with these clubs; it views them as a much greater and more immediate problem than the GLOs, and it would do almost anything to get rid of them if it could. You aren't guaranteed a spot in either system, but the university certainly doesn't grant them any favor vs. GLOs.
