The first day of classes at UF is Wednesday, August 24th so perhaps it was moved so that there are no "open" days before classes start.

Kentucky (UK) use to have a similar schedule. UK's sorority rush stared a week before classes started (first day of class is a Wednesday) and ended with Bid Day on that Wednesday afternoon/early evening (i.e. the first day of classes). Now, UK has moved NPC recruitment up a few days even though classes still begin on a Wednesday. The reason is that the University has events (Wildcat Welcome) for incoming freshman (and returning students?) the weekend before classes start. So moving recruitment up allows the new members to attend these events with all the other freshmen.
