I'm going to disagree to some extent. If it's a school that has a preview weekend (like Alabama's in February) or "hometown parties" over the holidays (again like Alabama), it might be better to send them early for incoming freshmen. That gets the girl on the chapter's radar and they can be on the lookout for her when she comes to preview weekend or invite her to the hometown party. December may be early but you could at least let them know you are going to be doing one for Susie Snowflake so she can be invited.
