DTD '04-'05, per 12/05 The Rainbow (not a gay magazine):
2414 pledges (21.5 per chapter)
2026 initiates
83.927%
Roughly, for every 24 pledges, 20 are initiated.
6127 undergraduates, 112 chapters
54.7 guys per chapter
There is some margin of error, since the four DTD colonies may/may not be included in the manpower numbers.

I thought about this and I know people are going to disagree with me right off the bat.
I don't believe a bid should be extended to someone that won't accept it. I don't believe a pledge should ever drop out. Take their checks immediately once they accept to pledge (once you put your money where your mouth is, you are more serious) and work with the pledges to initiate. Obviously they saw something about the fraternity that piqued their interest so why not make sure they do get that interest fulfilled.
