I had this explained to me by a girl just the other day. A large amount of girls are rushing, so much so that if you combined all the open slots (quota wise) from each sorority there would still be almost enough girls left out to fill an additional sorority up from 0.

However, the girl I was talking to basically said that a lot of the girls that don't end up pledging do so because they didn't get into one of three or so sororities. The rushees thought they were too good for the other houses and so dropped rather than trying somewhere else.

Doesn't make much sense to me, but maybe that is sorority logic. When I look at it, I see there being numbers to support a new sorority and put them on par with all of the currently established ones.
If the issue is that the girls rushing only want one of three top sororities, opening a new one won't solve the problem. It'll just create another chapter that's struggling. No national is going to want to come in and colonize with a situation like that. It would be a waste of money and time.
