In fact, when I told an Ole Miss fraternity alum who considered going to Alabama out-of-high-school recently about how Alabama frats recruit; he looked surprised and said "that's interesting, I assumed every school did it like this (formal fraternity recruitment)."

Yes, I do agree. And Alabama DOES have a formal fraternity rush (they still call it rush), but it is extremely small compared to the sororities' formal process.
