This is exactly the case. I come from a pledge class of 66 (and there have been pledge classes of over 70 at my school). I will say that it is impossible to become close with every girl in your pledge class nonetheless your chapter. You find your core group of friends in the pledge class that you become really close with. Inevitably, every class loses a few members a year so by the time you're a senior, your pledge class is smaller. The remaining girls tend to become a lot closer.
