I may have "done the math wrong". However, everything I am reading as a newbie to this entire process has mentioned that the initial cuts have been deeper with less "raw numbers" of girls going to subsequent rounds, due to the fact that they just have to get to a certain number. I have heard gossip that LSU would only "have spots" to place about 2/3 of the girls that go through recruitment. I don't know if this is similar numbers to previous times, but as a parent of a PNM it "appears" that more girls are getting cut. I am sorry if I don't understand the math, just asking a question. Friends who are LSU alums state that the anticipated pledge classes at LSU are still slated to be around "63". If there are 10 chapters, and each is anticipated to select 63 pledges, that would be 630 girls placed. therefore if you have 1300-1500 girls going through recruitment, that seems to be by my math 670-870 girls NOT being placed. Even if pledge classes approach 100, there would be 300-500 girls who are not placed. I certainly don't claim to completely understand recruitment math, I only have an advanced biology degree, not math, but even so, from the outset, this was skewed math.
Others have said that lots of girls going through BAMA are getting cut/released/voluntarily withdrawing. Others have said that UGA was "especially brutal".
