Very few girls are cut completely. Unfortunately, like many SEC schools, there are a select group of sororities that are the historically strong ones and they have been that way since the 40s. Everybody wants to pledge these 4 chapters, and many will drop out when they get cut by those 4. It's always been a problem.

I think there's always a way, but it would probably require several houses (fraternities and sororities) building/renovating in an area together. And in LA I'm sure that's only slightly harder than, say, making it in showbiz or becoming an astronaut. But I think it would be awesome if they could work it out!
