You constantly hear about how many chapters are at total and don't COB and how its much more difficult to get a bid when a pnm isn't a freshman. Plus are all chapters really open to the idea of giving a bid to a woman who they either cut or were cut by in the past? I would think a lot of girls who get initiated and deactivate quickly may be in an environment like this where they think if it doesn't work out they won't have another chance.

I'm sure that's true to a point. I can't think of what choice I would have made if I'd been in that environment as a pre-freshman, knowing no one and not even having taken a college class. This is why I am so in favor of deferred rush. You can get to know sorority women as people, not in the crazy rush atmosphere.
But then again, if it's someplace that is that stringent, the original poster's argument would be moot anyway because no one else would give her a bid. It's up to you to decide whether to be in a sorority you are lukewarm about or not be in one at all. And if you stay in a sorority that's hazing the crap out of you, that's your fault, no matter what your school is like.
