Spring rush does not happen every year. And when it does, it is only sororities who have lost members, usually by having members graduate early in Dec, or other attrition. Spring of 2009 was only 2-3 houses. Spring 2010 was 10-12 houses. It is a more informal process in the spring.

Formal Fall rush IS available to sophomores and even Juniors.

Sororities do not use alcohol as part of rush EVER. Not even under the table. You use alcohol as part of rush and you are kicked off campus. After rush, do sororities have socials and date functions where alcohol is served to those of age, yes. I believe no sorority house allows alcohol on the premises. So socials and date functions and formals are at clubs, country clubs etc. Do sorority girls drink at frat houses, sure. Do they party at their sisters apartments, and preparty before socials when they are not of age, yes. Do they sneak in beer/alcohol to their rooms in their houses, yeah. But getting caught does have consequences. And alcohol as part of any hazing can get you on probation pretty fast. There is a new culture of pledges and new members often “telling” on their sisters that did not used to happen. So any alcohol in a sorority house is pretty much under the table. Off premises, all bets are off.
