Not that I think it's a bad idea, it just seems odd that they would pay to live in the dorms, leave home so much earlier, etc. for 4 uninterrupted days of partying. Is it always like this? I've never noticed it before.

If they move in early for recruitment, there is no extra charge for the dorm. Heck, there are girls who sign up for recruitment just to move away from home early.
Recruitment is not the only thing going on. There are 3 or 4 programs for students where they go out and work on a Habitat House for a week, or do leadership skill exercises, or go whitewater rafting.
And remember that the rest of campus is moving in that weekend.

I was under the impression this was fairly common. Well, maybe not all the partying, but Recruitment ending before school began (for schools with Fall Recruitment). I know UW's (Washington) Recruitment ends over a week before school starts, with some of that time taken up by school sponsored activities for Freshman and the rest taken up by sorority activities.

It has always been like this as far as I know. It's really not 4 (?) days of uninterrupted partying, however. The campus (other than those groups who qualify for early move-in) is mostly moving in over the weekend. This gives them 2 days before the start of classes on Wednesday.
