Dartmouth has as well--Aphi and KD, with DZ lined up already as soon as the school is open for expansion.
I think the real purpose, at least at D, of not allowing rush until sophomore year is to make sure that people find a niche on campus outside of Greek Life. People have a whole year to figure out their place on campus before joining a house, and so people already do lots of things and have other friends. That's also why greek houses don't have chefs or real dining rooms--its to prevent individual houses and the Greek community from being separate from the non Greek community. That still happens to an extent, but a lot less than elsewhere, especially with such an open system. Downside: an entire year hearing about stereotypes and rankings.
I think its something that's really going to depend on the culture of the individual school, whether it could work.
