In numbers of women signing bids/pledging, maybe. But what's the point in crowing about statistics like "our chapter has made quota for the past 90 years" if you can't retain more than half of those women throughout their collegiate career or as active alumnae?

I'd rather have 30 women pledge who will truly make a lifetime commitment, than have 70 women pledge and have half of them be gone by their senior year.

I'm obviously not saying that ALL women do that - but when I read things on here like "at my school, you're made fun of if you're a senior and still active" it usually is from the chapters that have first semester rush with huge pledge classes.
