2013
Number of women who registered for recruitment 1733
Number of women who participated in bid matching 1160
Number of women who matched 1025
So that's a 59.145% match rate overall. The next group of stats will show you where the women dropped, were released, etc.
Released or withdrew:
withdraw/no show for 21-party 104
grade release for less than 2.7 182
withdraw/no show for 14-party 67
withdraw/no show for 8-party 43
released after 8-party 11
withdraw after 3-party 162
released after 3-party (no bid) 135
Total number unmatched 704
The total number unmatched, as you see, includes grade releases and no shows (286 women of the original 1733).

I still feel that a 59% match rate is nothing to be proud of. One also has to keep in mind that the 59% match rate you cite represents an *improvement* over prior years.
Also, I feel that in a bed rush, with a fixed number of bids to give out, the number of withdraws/no shows is deceptive.
With 1733 women initially registering, 182 did not meet the grade requirement to rush. That brings the number down to 1,551. Sororities gave out 1025 bids. I'm going to assume that is pretty close to the fixed number of bids they had to offer. That leaves approximately 526 women who never had a chance of getting a bid -- roughly one third of the women rushing.
