As a brother from a chapter with a average of 75+ pledges a term over the last 2 years, I can say membership retention is pretty bad with large pledge classes and it is pretty difficult to get to know everyone in your class.
However, of those brothers who decide not to be active, at least they did some service and were taught the the principles that the fraternity was founded upon in their brief time in the fraternity. Whether they carry on that on to the future is entirely up to them but at least they have the tools now.
For those who remain active, the opportunity to bond and to get to know each other is always there, you just have to take advantage of it. If you do the bare minimum number of hours and fellowships, obviously the experience will be different than if do 50+ hours of service, 20 fellowships, become involved in committees and run for office. What you put into it, is what you get out of it.
