I have been told repeatedly by sorority rushees and older girls in sororities that every girl who goes through rush gets a bid; if that is not the case then it's news to me.

I can't answer the question about what criteria the sororities use because they vote in secret. I know that there are cutoffs for grades. I know that sororities want to see activities. But beyond that, I can't answer.

UCLA evidently has guaranteed bids. Exactly how that works isn't clear to me, but I imagine that IF a girl goes through rush, maximizing all her options and doesn't get a bid after Preference...they are offered either snap bids (from houses that didn't fill their quota) or quota additions for houses that were Preffed but the girl wasn't high enough on their bid list. But if a girl is invited to join a house that she didn't like, I imagine that it doesn't matter because she wouldn't take the bid.

I am not sure of the numbers but approximately 800 girls began recruitment this year. Over 500 pledged. I am NOT sure of the exact numbers. Obviously some girls dropped out because they didn't like their choices. Some didn't realize the costs involved. There were some girls who were released.
