Retention numbers matter because it tells you who is dropping out of which sorority. The lower the numbers means the higher number of pledges AND actives that have dropped! Girls typically drop because of lack of sisterhood and support

You make no sense.
Actives’ rates are lower than new member dues. So sororities do not make you pay more after initiation, you actually pay less.

heard that lots of sisters drop after a year or so, stay for the parties but don't care about sisterhood/the sisters hate each other.

Umm yeah.... it is the actual numbers for the Fall. After girls sign up as actives and everyone pays dues. Sororities will try for larger pc classes when too many actives drop out ....

The OP's numbers are for SPRING 2018 and NOT Fall 2018. There will obviously be GRADUATES and DROPOUTS between SPRING and FALL.

True. Actual retention is the percentage of women who initiate after being bid. The Total Numbers posted here take no account of each home's actual bid number, which varies by house. The point of the post is to make false and mean comparisons between numbers that were never equal to begin with, which leads to false conclusions about the numbers as given.

Girls want to rush for the letters once they are in they realize the sisterhood aspect is flawed

You can totally tell which sororities girls drop because of:
behavior or probation or sisterhood or parties etc....
The retention numbers total = happiness and satisfaction scale

Retention matters to me. I guess I look to pledging a sorority as investing. Investing in social and professional networks, life long friends and building bonds that will last a lifetime.

Retention rate matters because that means the girls that rush that sorority are more likely to be happy and stick with it !!!

I'm going to guess you're an eager Chi Omega because of your posted name as it relates to your home's recruitment skits (which make use of the exclamation "HI!"). You are correct that retention rates matter, but the given numbers are NOT retention rate numbers. Sorry.

If your rushing, these numbers matter! Each sorority at Miami is trying to stay at about 200 members.
You can totally tell who is succeeding and which chapters are having issues retaining girls.
Girls drop because they are not satisfied...... socially (lame parties and lack of mixers); sisterhood (backstabbing vs supportive friends); and networking (everyone at Miami is looking for the connections and if your sorority doesn’t support you moving ahead with school, study abroad opps, internships and career... why stay?)
