Early and severe cuts seem harsh, but the old way - where some chapters would keep inviting as many girls back as would accept their invitation, some of whom they had ZERO interest in, and then cut them either right before or after pref - was way, way, harsher. You have to remember these are the kind of chapters who can make everyone feel welcomed and like they fit in. And some chapters just genuinely don't want to cut anyone because they want to keep giving everyone a 3rd and 4th and 5th chance. With these kind of numbers, that doesn't work either.
