why do pledge classes get smaller as the years go by?

If you could look at entire classes at a college or university, you'd find the same is true - freshmen are the biggest class, with seniors the smallest (and graduate students even fewer).

At Freshman Orientation, we were told that only 25% of those enrolling as freshman tend to graduate.

That statistic also held true to my pledge class. As said before, life happens.
