Yes, the huge drop from Round 1 to Round 2 is part of the Recruitment Figure Methodology used sine the mid-to-late 1990s by the NPC.
The ones that cut their PNM (formerly known as rushee) pool so harshly are the ones that everybody wants and obviously few get.
Truthfully, this releases candidates early in the game, so they can look at the other sororities more closely and find a fit, rather than the biggies stringing them along with a big drop before pref.
IT HAS BEEN A GREAT AND GOOD METHOD!
This has what has been responsible for the huge growth of the Greek system everywhere! As long as the girls don't immediately give up and drop out of recruitment/rush, they are more likely to find a fit with another sorority.
Pledge rates have climbed, making chapters healthier.
