Well- since we don't know how many girls are invited to the bigger houses, or how what their # of returns are- Only our own house figures are given to us- how could we prove that they didn't go by release figures.
Our campus just tells each group how many girls to release
They go to XYZ and say- you have to release 200 or whatever. And down the line.

The problem at our school is there aren't enough girls during Pref for quota for all the houses, they set quota in the middle of the 2nd rounds. And the bigger houses don't have to do severe cuts till after 2nd rounds, so you get a lot of girls that dropped because they don't get invited back where they want to go.

Then they look at the smaller houses and say "well I don't just want to be a left over" and never experience greek life.
It is sad but true. Most of my sisters came through COB mainly because they were girls that never rushed and never thought they were sorority types. We are talking about beautiful, smart, fun women, that never thought they could be in a sorority.

The larger houses (minue one at my campus) helped sustain that attitude, too. They dropped all the girls that didn't seem to be the stereotypical sorority girl. It was really sad to see girls get so excited about these houses, get invited back 1st rounds and get dropped after 2nd rounds... so they weren't even able to return to the other 3 houses!!! It is really really sad.

I dont think there is an answer. I think every campus has the powerhouses and every campus has the smaller houses.
That is just that.
