As a sister, I would see about freshman go through rush with their hearts set on one of two or three sororities. Quota was 30ish. These sororities would easily get quota while the remaining would not. Dozens of women would be disappointed. They had decided before rush that they wanted ABC or DE or nothing. They contributed to their own disappointment by not having an open mind. How do you deal with that?

This is a problem my campus faces due to rush being deferred to sophomore year. We had 26 women unmatched this year (many of whom were offered snap bids to the sororities who did not receive quota, and they declined because they weren't the ones that they had their hearts set upon) and 54 women dropped out of recruitment completely because they were released by their top choices. It's one of the downfalls of deferred recruitment. Also, sorry to be blunt, but I have no sympathy for the women who don't go through recruitment with an open mind and then complain because they didn't get bids from the places they wanted.
