At my school many of the classes are much smaller by the end. Our greek system isn't very large though, in turn new member classes only start out as 10 to 20 members. The other factor is we have many women transfer to other schools. Also I know we have many women who join who aren't freshman, which in turn has them graduating at different times. Also we have women who graduate both early or late. From my alpha class we had 2 of us graduate in under 4 years. One who got into a grad program that let her finish her undergrad at the same time, in turn having her leave early. We also had one woman who had transfered from a community college who graduated from our school in under 4 years. My class had very few that left just to leave the chapter. More than not it was because they were graduating at other times or transfering. There have also been some that have had to leave for financial reasons. In state tuition at my school isn't much but many students are paying that out of pocket and realize that they don't end up having the money to pay for sorority functions and what not also.
