This is not true. Nearly all recruitment systems operate on a quota system, whether a huge Southern school or a small Northern school. The number of PNMs interested in going through rush largely determines how many new members each sorority is permitted to take, not how accepting the chapters are. IN GENERAL, there is more interest in joining a sorority at a large, Southern school because
a. they are more likely to have grown up with knowledge of the Greek system (with sorority alumnae in their families, friends who join at other schools, etc.)
b. the thriving, huge Greek system already in place at the college attracts more applicants.
With your skewed logic (chapter size would be positively correlated with acceptance and non-shallow membership selection), would that not also mean that the large Southern schools should be highly accepting? And that is the whole point of this thread... that they are NOT.
