Editing Trill Initiate (section)

==Eligibility==
On average, only 300 symbionts are available for new hosts each year. Because there are many more humaniod Trill than symbionts, prospective hosts are weeded out by a demanding selection procedure, overseen by the Symbiosis Commission.

It is commonly believed in Trill society that only 1 in 1,000 Trill make acceptable hosts; in fact, this figure is vastly inflated, and is closer to 1 in 2, but the myth is perpetuated very carefully in order to avoid the widespread chaos which would arise if the information were made public. 

Unless the joined Trill objects, a prospective host may request a specific symbiont.
