When PanHel ideals are at odds with an individual house's ideals, something has to give. And when PanHel no longer works to make its member houses stronger, then change is in the air. Demographic trends are likely to solve this problem, but I hope you can see that having more girls go through rush (and ultimately wind up in a house) does not necessarily improve the system. Here's the thing. Freshman are not necessarily getting prettier or smarter or more involved than they once more, there simply are more of them who want to join a sorority. So the Thetas and the PiPhis and the ChiOs of the world are always going to get who they want, whether they each siphon off the top 60 or 75 or 90 girls for their pledge classes. And so on down the line. If the top houses take even more of the top girls, in a way that may leave quantity, though not necessarily quality, for the lower-tier houses. If PanHel is worried about girls dropping after bid day or not making grades or not being committed to a house's standards, they have no one but themselves to blame for watering down the system. Ultimately being more selective makes the system stronger. When you are on a second grade soccer team and the coach makes sure everyone plays, the team may suck but the girls are happy. When those same rules are in effect when you're 18, it brings down the whole system.
