I agree with this, but colleges that primarily draw from concentrated areas have an additional challenge. The university that I am familiar with draws the lion's share of PNMs from two metropolitan areas. Everyone knows who the homecoming queens, cheerleaders, and other "popular girls" in those cities' high schools were. PNMs almost invariably want to pledge the houses that those identified upperclassmen are in. Even if middle/lower tier house does a great job during rush, not having the "popular girls" from the big high schools as actives is a tough hurdle to get over.
