The problem with that is that fifty girls will think that ABC is their best fit, either because it really is or they think that sorority is the most popular. Then XYZ will have five girls, who although they are probably amazing women, would be unable to help them keep up with fees, dues and a house, solely because of numbers. (On my campus, you loose your house if you can't fill it and I'm sure it's like that on others.) I think the
mutual selection process as it is now is definitely the best method. People tend to forget that it's not just the sororities picking girls, but the pnm who write down their top choices as well.
