I think that it does creat "enemies". Think about it sororities, at least to me, are like cheerleading, they represent: popularity, beauty etc, when one is cut some people will feel like they are worthless, not beautiful etc. It is like a sharp pain--how do I know? I was cut every year from the cheerleading squad-- from junior high to high school. No matter how many jokes people make about cheerleaders I still wanted to be one. I understand(my parents couldn't afford dance lessons when I was little--and dance is kind of good for cheerleading/poms) why I was cut, but it still hurts. It doesn't mean that if I have kids that Iwon't let them try out, but I know that everytime I meet a cheerleader I will compare myself to her. The same thing goes for sorority's that I was cut from.
So yes having such low numbers for quota is horrible!
