We were forced to switch to this method my junior year because the university felt it was too disruptive to storm the dorms picking up new members. I raised hell at the president's council because a) it's stressful for the NM's who didn't get their first choices and b) it's stressful for the chapters that didn't make quota.
Prior to the switch, you picked up your bid in the union, and then returned to your dorm, and then a sister would call you to say what time you should be ready to be picked up. The sisters would show up in small groups and run down the hallway doing the sorority cheer, decorate your door, and give you a t-shirt to change into. Yes, it was loud, yes, it meant non-residents were tearing through the dorms on a random Sunday evening (or Monday, if it fell on Labor Day), but c'mon...you have one of the largest Greek systems in the country, suck it up, rest-of-the-university.
