Underground Pledging

Does anyone have any information on this? I'm a Graduate Assitant and Advisor to the greeks at a new school and I've discovered that they have a severe case of underground pledging, mostly with the fraternities but occasionally sororities will do this too. At our school, a 1st semester freshman can not join a fraternity or sorority so we have our formal recruitment in the spring. The problem is some of the fraternities have freshmen join their pledging in the fall to get numbers for nationals, then they just pretend they are pledging these freshman in the spring for our campus policy. We were talking about ways to discourage the fraternities from doing this but we didn't get very far. Also, at my undergraduate school, one sorority got in trouble and the next semester (or maybe it was for a year) they were not allowed to take any new members. I'm pretty sure this was set by their nationals. I was just confused because I didn't know if that was something Panhel agreed with and i didn't think that was very positive for the chapter since they would then lose numbers. Thanks!
