Demon,
I believe you are talking about new member classes in NPHC groups? If so, there was a post similar to yours on (I believe) the Greek Life board. If you would do a search through that topic, using the term 'large' 'line' etc., you should come up with the answer to your question.
Here are a couple links to related posts:

The NPC sororities at large schools usually pledge 50, 70 or more women each fall. They use a structured national new member program to insure that each and every new member receives the education, background and attendtion they need to succeed and become vital members of their chapter.
