Oddly, I think the decision to do bid day this way was actually an attempt to downplay recruitment. In the bad old days when recruitment was way before classes started, it was not unheard of for girls to decide to transfer after a bad rush.
Now, if you moved recruitment further into the semester, you don't have that problem, but you have a host of others.
