I know that at Arkansas, they moved rush into September to increase/retain enrollment. They used to have it before school started, and if some PNMs didn't get the sorority they wanted, they actually transferred schools, costing the University enrollment. It happened often enough that the chancellor demanded that recruitment be moved after classes started.
I am NOT a fan of large recruitments after school starts, but I wanted to point out that there apparently is an argument that delaying recruitment actually helps enrollment.
