It has been my experience that when a school has deferred recruitment (formal recruitment in the spring) then there is Continuous Open Bidding that occurs year round. We also have an informal fall recruitment but 1st semester freshmen are not eligible to join a fraternity or sorority until january. i don't know if it has hurt the numbers because i've never seen the campus with formal in the fall, but it is done to ensure academics and retention for the fraternity members.
