It doesn't matter how many sororities there are. If 800 girls rushed and they all stayed in rush until the end, there would be 200 girls joining every sorority. That's how quota and total work. The reason those 150 girls didn't get a bid is not because there wasn't "room" for them. As everyone previously said, it's likely that they dropped out on their own. It's also likely that the number may have been inflated or exaggerated to make the sororities seem more "elite."
