Although chapters do choose not to invite back certain rushees, the rushees also cut chapters. In addition, at least 10-20% of registered rushees never show up for the events and a similar figure drops out of recruitment.
Every day of an invitational, the rushees can only attend a specific number of chapters, thereby making the 'cutting' process one of mutual selection. Also, a potential member can only attend 3 preference parties, so it's doubtful that there would be 1400 members going through prefs at the same 3 chapters. Not to say it couldn't happen, but it would be very unusual.
At campuses with extremely large Greek systems (and the new members to prove it), I've heard they sometimes hold pref ceremonies over two days so as not to overwhelm the chapters.
