When I rushed in 1987, we were told that it was the largest ever with 2000 rushees. (I think that number had to have been exaggerated.) We had more sororities then (ZTA, AZD, ASA, and DPE have since closed, but DZ has since re-colonized) and quota was mid-50s. I believe all but 5 chapters made quota that year. I think back then a lot more rushees dropped during rush, and also rush was the week before classes started. I can't imagine having it after classes have begun, considering how many chapters there are on campus.
My biggest complaint about rush/recruitment at UIUC is that there is too big of a cut from Open House to 1st invitational. When I went through we cut from 24 chapters down to 8. That was ridiculous. I think this year the cut is from 19 to 10? The really great thing about Greek life at UIUC is that we had a chapter of almost every NPC and IFC group, so it was a really well-rounded experience. It was also great that almost every chapter was really strong and historic and was usually an award-winning chapter for their GLO.
