UF has 45,000 students. 15 NPC sororities and 4 NPHC sororities for a total of 19 sororities. SUNY Albany only has 12,000 students and the same number of sororities. Albany has more competition in my book.
Nope... Doesn't work that way. Because it a) doesn't depend on the number of students, it depends on the number of rushees and b) quota is adjusted to the number of rushees, so at any school most of the women who rush should be placed.

Not saying that small schools don't have competitive rushes... Mine sure as heck does. Just faulty reasoning.

Size has much less to do with it than culture.

For example, at my school tons more women could be placed than are--but they withdraw if they are cut from the two most popular sororities. Those are the only ones that they will even consider.
