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.

I know this has been brought up a few times in the past, but I really think that it comes down to differing views.
Twenty years ago there were twice as many sororites and fraternities on this campus. Granted that the interest isn't as strong now, but I think that more dedication by everyone could change that.
When I pledged back in 2001 compared to now, fraternities have grown in numbers and there are three additional ones. By expanding, we have brought more students into the system that otherwise would not have joined. It can easily be the same way for the sororities. It won't improve over night, but with a little work they would all grow.
The other side of the issue is that there are only a set number of girls that will rush and that the sororities that be need to split them.
