Perhaps it may seem less scary when you realize that of the 2,081 girls who began the process in 2013 recruitment, only 109 were released (2014 stats are not yet available). I suspect that many of those releases were due to grades.
From the
UA Panhellenic site:
What was the Profile of the 2013 Sorority Recruitment Applicant Pool?
For fall 2013, a record 2,113 women registered for formal recruitment and 2,081 participated in the first round of recruitment known as Open House. Of those women in the Open House Pool, 563 were from Alabama and 1,518 were from Out-of-State. Of the 2,081 women in the Open House Pool, 11% (195 women) did not complete the process, of which 83 withdrew, 109 were released and 3 participated in bid matching but did
NOT maximize their options. Of the 1,894 women receiving bids, 531 were from Alabama and 1,364 were from Out-of-State, for an overall Open House Pool Match Rate of 91%. The National average for women receiving a bid during formal recruitment is 79% of the Open House Pool.
