Fraternities at SEC schools (except for Vandy) all have rush events in the spring and summer and most of the larger groups pretty much have their pledge classes filled out before school starts. For example, the four boys from my son’s school that went to Bama all pledged a fraternity in April of their senior year - though one of the four had an active brother in the chapter. Vandy has deferred rush in January like SMU does so it gives the freshmen a semester to get to know people at the school before they go through rush.
When I was in school (and I went to a SEC school with a very active greek life) some of the frats had spring rush - but they usually did not pledge that many boys - so if you didn’t get in during the summer/fall rush then you would have to wait until the next fall and hope that they would pledge upper classmen.
