I don't have a good answer for your other question, but for this one:

Imagine this: You have 1000 women come through your house. You have to cut that list down to 600 after one 20 minute meeting. First obvious choice is grades - if someone has a 2.5, and your chapter requires a 3.0, that solves that problem. So maybe that elimiates 200 women, and you now have to find 200 more to cut. Well, you've got 700 freshmen left who will be able to give 4+ years to the sorority, and 100 misc. soph/jr/srs who may only have 2 or 3 years left on campus. Just mathmatically speaking, it's better for your numbers to take the women who will have more years to give to the sorority.
It's completely superficial, and I understand that, but there has to be some way to narrow it down.
