In my observation this seems to be the norm for sororities at the U. of Pennsylvania. Pledge classes of 50 or more sometimes lead to senior classes of 20 or even 10...and it certainly isn't because students are dropping out or failing. On that campus, it's cool to rush as a freshman, but it's viewed as kind of lame if you still take it seriously by senior year. The campus culture assumes that as a senior, you'll be out in the city on your own, thinking about grad school, etc., and you're basically supposed to be above all of that Greek-system nonsense. (Needless to say, this attitude isn't universal, but it's fairly prevalent.)
