I think it's not just an "elitism" thing, but also a fear of chapters getting too huge, even if more chapters are added and total/quota is put into place. That's a cultural north vs south thing, and if women have never done it before and see schools that have t/q getting pledge classes of 100 or so, it's hard to make them believe it's not like that everywhere, especially if they're wary of change to begin with.

Then again, if the "elitism" factor lessens, the number of women rushing in the first place might decrease as well. It would be a fun and fine social experiment to conduct if so honking much $$$ wasn't involved.
