When were you told how many you had to drop? Obviously you were going to have to drop girls at some point, when did you think you would have to do it?
Cutting half of 113 girls for 3RD round? That sounds very much on par.
If it took you guys four or five hours to cut 56 or 57 girls, you really need to reexamine the way you do things because it really shouldn't take that long. You've had 2 rounds to get to know these girls before you make the cuts. Grades are easy first cuts, and that should knock out a few. It should also be easy to pick out a number of girls who would not be a good fit at all with your chapter.
Without going into details about my own groups membership selection process, your group undoubtedly has a very defined process as to how things should work that keeps the flow going and keeps things from getting out of hands and dragging on.
Detailed notes, trusting your sisters, and also getting together and discussing things as a group after each round will make things run more smoothly.
I'm guessing from your post that you didn't have to make any cuts after round 1? I hope that you still met and discussed things afterwards. If not, you should think about doing that next year.
If your chapter rushes well, then you should have a fairly good idea of what kinds of girls that you want in your chapter. It should be easier for you to cut those girls who wouldn't fit in with your chapter, and let them have a chance to get to know other chapters since they wouldn't fit in with yours.
