I am not disagreeing here but it is something to think about...while I too think it would lead to diminishing numbers of chapters, it seems to work very well for fraternities. Somehow, like sororities, some are pegged as being the "strongest" fraternities but the overwhelming majority of chapters get similar sized pledge classes every year. It is true that fraternities disappear much quicker than sororities, but they also appear quickly and there are usually more fraternal GLOs than sororities. I understand this to be true even in the most competitive SEC campuses for the fraternities.
Now would this be the same for girls? Maybe not. I do feel that our gender is, on average (there are obviously exceptions), more likely to aim for the "highest status" than the guys are. I feel like even though many of my friends now would say "I loved XYZ from Day #1!", I remember back in the dorms and they had their hearts set on ABC until they got cut after the second round or something like that.
