Do they have people who sign up for rush but really could care less about going Greek and just want to move into the dorms early? I would think weeding them out would be helpful, if that is an issue.

Yes, that's exactly why.
To be sure, the number signing up and not showing up the first day, or dropping after a day or two, was not huge, but it was significant enough. Plus the sheer numbers signing up (We would have been pushing 3,000 this year, but it's closer to last year's 2,600-2700), not to mention the drop-out rate between bid day and initiation day - again, not huge, but you want to convey the seriousness of the committment.

And those NM classes of 150 plus! Sigma Kappa will be colonizing fall 2018 and we're all looking forward to that!!

Forgot to mention the cost of running buses for 2500 every day of recruitment!
