Whoa, Madmax, you're way off! Chapter ceilings vary all over from 25 to 100. The number of sororities varies from 1 to I think 20 (NPC). Generally speaking, in fact, there are more chapters at bigger schools. But when smaller schools have a lot of chapters, the chapter ceilings are just smaller on that campus. A system can be cutthroat with one chapter (see "Rush at UCSC") or with many, or with large or small chapter sizes.

Campus size is totally irrelevant. So is the # of chapters. Not all undergrads want to go Greek. They don't matter as far as rushee or chapter numbers, then. It can only be cutthroat if they're cutting their throats over not getting in!

The system is designed to work so almost all rushees get bids. (There are women who are deemed unsuitable in every system.) Quota expands infinitely to include ALL those women. If quota starts going above a certain point, that's when schools consider adding more Greek orgs, because the chapters only want to get so large.

The system breaks down only when rushees decide that they would rather not be Greek than join certain organizations. That's when they drop out of rush after getting cut by their organizations of choice. That's when it is considered cut-throat. On campuses where girls are more willing to consider all chapters, it's not.
