I'm not sure of any guy who wanted to join a fraternity ever being turned away. Even the problem guys join bcause there is some fraternity who needs numbers and will take them. I feel sorry for the hundreds of women who don't get accepted and I can see why they would want to start their own sorority or simply be anti-greek for the rest of their college years.
A lot of girls screw themselves over by saying "I only want ABC the top sorority" and refuse to look at something that might have a slightly lower status on campus. They have shown they don't want to be Greek, they want popularity whether they connect with the women (and vice versa) or not.

Sometimes there are girls who would be great but get cross-cut and don't bother to look into options like COB. Sorry, but if you're not bright enough to research your options (especially with so much more info than there used to be) it's your own fault.

Some women just find that they don't care for the Greek system as it is at their school, but they might love it someplace else. That's no reason to put down Greeks period....especially if it takes two clicks of a mouse to show that not all sororities even look like or are housed like the ones at your campus.

If all the sororities are full and many women don't get a bid...they can look into starting a new chapter. If some of them aren't full and Panhel is closed to expansion, rush as a group and turn that struggling chapter around.

And as for the fraternities who take the problem guys because they need numbers, I hope they are having a good time on their voyage on the S. S. Pathetic. Women are not quite so dumb as to do that.
