At my school, it was normal to see relatively small senior classes. It wasn't just my chapter; it was this way with every fraternity or sorority on my campus. My pledge class had 64 girls; at graduation, we had 14. Well, 22 is probably a more accurate number since we had a bunch of girls graduate a year to a semester early. Believe it or not, having 22 women left from the original pledge class was actually considered good. Many of the chapters on our campus were left with maybe 9 seniors.
There are a few girls that transfer to another school but I think that many just do not want to try and hang around for 4 years. They get into a serious relationship and no longer have time to devote to the sorority, their classes become too hard, or they just become disenchanted by the whole sorority/fraternity thing. As we all know, there comes a time in everyone's collegiate GLO career where we just become annoyed with our chapter and some of the things that are going on. I guess many people would rather give up than try to make the situation better.
