Schools decide to add more sororities because Greek Life is thriving, chapters are all at a maximum size, PNMs are being placed routinely and the school thinks a new chapter would succeed.
Expansion decisions are not made because too FEW women are getting bids.
Other actual sorority women with recruitment experience can chime in on this.

By saying that you're going to say it in the nicest way way possible, kind of made it seem not nice. :/

Panhellenic is expanding because the chapters are getting to big, not because too many girls dropped out and didn't get bids. The existing chapters would like to manage their sizes by adding extra groups to help with demand.

And they just can't fit anymore. Multiple news articles about rush at my school have stated that the number of girls not receiving bids (and that doesn't include dropping out) was a major factor in deciding to expand to another chapter. So, that's why I said what I did. Perhaps I
am missing something and I understand about quota, but it's just what I read about rush at my school. *shrug*
