My class was held over during the summer. We joined with like a month left of school (including finals). Our VP of NM Education gave us the option of either doing our NM period in like 4 weeks (when the standard is 8) or waiting til August. We were all busy sophomores and juniors so we didn't see ourselves trying to learn everythting about Sigma in 4 weeks on top of finals and other school stuff.
I live in the same area as my chapter and we all hung out over the summer so the chapter never felt like they would not retain us.
Personally, I didn't mind. But you take a risk when you hold members over for a summer. Will they still be interested once school starts? Who knows.
I'd try my hardest to initiate them before summer. If you're pledging them in the next week or so and your NM period is standard length (8 weeks or so), you might be cutting it close.
