I had this explained to me by a girl just the other day. A large amount of girls are rushing, so much so that if you combined all the open slots (quota wise) from each sorority there would still be almost enough girls left out to fill an additional sorority up from 0.
However, the girl I was talking to basically said that a lot of the girls that don't end up pledging do so because they didn't get into one of three or so sororities. The rushees thought they were too good for the other houses and so dropped rather than trying somewhere else.
Doesn't make much sense to me, but maybe that is sorority logic. When I look at it, I see there being numbers to support a new sorority and put them on par with all of the currently established ones.

Quota was lower this past fall than it has been since I rushed two years ago. Generally quota is 30-32 girls, this year it was 24.
It's true that a lot of girls do end up dropping out through rush halfway through, either because they got dropped by houses they like or because they realized if recruitment was so busy, what's pledging going to be like?
The local sorority that wanted to affiliate with Tri-Delt last year has about 50 members. Ceiling for our national chapters on campus is 90, so if they did end up colonizing and participating in rush, if they even met this past fall's quota (which is highly unlikely), they wouldn't have even been at total.
