Why is Rush so Cut-throat on the Sororities' End at Big Greek Schools?

The last expansion at Alabama was in 1989, the "newest" chapter is 17 years old.

Here is my question, who would expand at Alabama? Three chapters have closed in the past 20 years. One of those within the past 5 years, and one within the past 15 years.

There are two other chapters that closed one in the 1970s (I think) and one before that.

Also the amount of PNMs being released from Alabama's recruitment is 65 plus the 49 who didn't receive bids, out of the women not receiving bids I would say the majority did not maximize their options.
