Doesn't your campus have formal rush or use quota?

Even if every sorority is at total (65) going into rush, if 100 women complete rush, each of the 4 of them can still take 25 new members. Not allowing this will severely mess up the class distribution within the sororities and is probably how Pink got to have lower numbers than the other three.

Greek systems that are growing do not decrease total "in anticipation of a new organization." They add new orgs because interest in Greek life is so overwhelming, the new groups will be able to get up to the current total almost immediately. Check out the threads about expansion at Alabama.
