I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't see the problem with having just one formal recruitment in the fall. I went to a big state school my freshmen year. I transferred to the school (from community college) in January. UA didn't have a structured (per say) informal recruitment in the spring. I kind of went to what ever houses I was interested in. As I wanted to go Greek, I willingly went with it. I could have waited until the fall and done formal recruitment, but I didn't want too. I'm not sure how many new freshmen UA got that spring, but my feeling is you either do the informal in the spring or wait until formal in the fall.
Having been a recruitment advisor (albeit for a school that ADPi is the only NPC on campus right now) formal recruitment is incredibly stressful. The amount of time and energy that goes into it, unless the chapters are "doing" the same thing in spring and fall, I personally think having two formal recruitments puts a lot of stress on the chapters. Some chapters aren't strong at formal recruitment but excel at informal.
Have you guys thought about keeping the formal fall and having a semi-structured informal spring?
