Many of SC students are from Trojan families of many generations. To some only certain sororities are "acceptable". If invitations do not include those chapters pnms drop out of recruitment.
Some pnms use recruitment as a way to meet people and have no intention of becoming Greek. They drop after first round.
SC now has residential colleges. Certain students choose these instead of joining a Greek chapter.
The university encourages double majoring and multidisciplinary choices. Many students feel they would have no time for Greek life due to demanding academic schedules.
The above are my guesses. There are no studies available why the numbers have dropped dramatically.

Although many of these items may be true I doubt that it would be that drastic of a drop from one year to the next. I would think it would be a more subtle decline over years.
