To anticipate a possible follow-up question - chapters prefer to pledge freshmen because they will be able to be active for a full 4 years, as opposed to a junior who will only be active for 2. This is great news - I've always hated the fact that if you didn't decide greek life was for you early on you hurt your chances to land in some chapters.

You are 100% right.
Interestingly, we had the UGA Director for Greek Life here for our sorority info session last month and she said there was interest (not with her though) in pushing UGA formal recruitment to Spring....this could be a way to avoid Spring formal rercuitment without "penalizing" those who wait.
