Here is the problem. I'll keep it as honest as possible. PNM's do not want to join "bottom" houses, and a lot of low houses bid girls who should not be in the Greek System. THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE. As a result, Cal's greek system is never considered "Full" because there is still space in bottom houses for members. Bottom houses cannot release as many women because they cannot afford to be as choosy with the women they want. If you look at pre night, there are more girls going to parties at DDD and GPB than they are at Kappa or Pi Phi. As a result, eveyone gets called back to most bottom houses consistently. Even if you try and drop bottom houses, unless you were very desired by top houses, you will get called back to bottom houses because they did not/cannot release you (if they want to maximize their pledge class size). Bottom Houses want/need full pledge classes, so they maximize their bid lists. Come to bid day, a lot of girls who get bottom houses don't even go. As a result, day one bottom houses tend of have a smaller pledge class size than top houses because the girls actually want to be there. Additionally, a lot of girls in bottom houses don't realize they cant afford it, or realize its not for them. They drop, and the pledge class size gets even smaller. COB makes up for this, but not enough. The best thing top houses can do is strengthen our overall Greek System and make the recruitment field more even for bottom houses. They can take in more girls.
