Yeah, I exaggerated the point a bit there. It is very difficult, but not impossible, for an NPC chapter to get rid of a new member. This sorority, OTOH, is kicking out a pledge a week. Nearly 2/3 of them are getting the boot.

Which brings up another question: dues. Have the American sisters or the British pledges been asked to pay anything? Or is it all on the TV station's dime for the duration of the season? What happens when the Americans go home and the British Chosen Five have a sorority to run, a house to maintain, a new rush to plan, a new pledging process to conduct, etc.?
