People I still know from campus have told me that these chapters got the following amount of members:

Alpha Phi - 74
Delta Gamma - 70
Gamma Phi Beta - 73

These are huge pledge classes for USC, last year I think they were in the 58-59 range.

That's what, a 60 percent rate approximately? Was that mainly due to girls dropping out of recruitment before bid day, or were there heavy cuts with a number of girls not placed? Or both? Just curious...

Me, too - that's an insane difference.

Question Speculation

It would only be speculation, but I am guessing it is both. These chapters have been on campus over or near a century. To add a new chapter, with the cost of land and building a comparable house, would cost millions.

Unfortunately, there are many pnms who will only accept bids from certain groups. In the past chapters have left due to small numbers.

I hope amycat412 will add her opinion.
