There's only one org out of the three that has that extreme of a problem, but membership retainment is a problem across the board.
We take what we are looking for in a sister very seriously, how can you tell in 4 days, or 8 that a girl is actually misleading you about some aspects of herself, there's no telling how someone is going to get along with all the other pledges until the process actually begins, hearing leadership skills on paper is nice, but i like to see what the girls bring to the table in their actions during their process, I feel like having the option to vote out girls gives us a sense of security against girls that we later find out weren't being true to us in the beginning and are going to be a problem or detrimental before they cross over. I also think it's beneficial in the case of girls that are more shy when they come to rush, it gives them the chance to show us who they really are and what they are going to bring to the sorority. You can't predict the future, and you can never tell how a girl will be in 3 days or 3 weeks, but after a while once you have been able to at least have the opportunity to establish a relationship with someone you can truly make a decision on whether they are right for your sorority or not. It shouldn't all be based on what they did in high-school, and how nice a person they are at rush, it should be about the person they are now, and the person you can see them becoming in the future, things you really don't get to see until you have spent real time with girls in more intimate settings.
I guess everyone does what works for them. In the 3 years I've been active we haven't had a new member disaffiliate or go inactive in their first year active except under extreme circumstances(death in family, financial circumstances change, etc.)
