Whereas if you don't rush until your second semester, and have maybe had a chance to interact with the ABC fraternity and realize that although they're cute they are total douchebags...you're not going to take everything they say as gospel.

Hrm, maybe this varies from campus to campus, but I felt like enough women went through recruitment at my school with little knowledge of the ranks specifically because recruitment happened right at the beginning of the term (usually started a few days before classes started). Granted, UCLA is a campus where a good portion of women sign up for recruitment in the few days between when they move in to their dorms and Round 1 (easily 20%-30% of PNMs). I could also be over-estimating this population in general.
I used to think the idea of deferred recruitment was absolutely terribly for struggling chapters, but the older I get, the more I understand your exact point. I also understand the great benefit of having time to assess PNMs, both in the social scene and their grades.
