It means that my alma mater (as well as Howard, from what I've heard) are good schools, but not necessarily on the same level as a Harvard. That doesn't mean that the students at other schools aren't intelligent and don't have the chance to become quite successful.

It's great the NPHC orgs don't have to worry about quota - I never completely understood it as it applied to sororities at my school. To each their own, and it seems to be working out well for sororities, but I never completely understood the reasoning behind quotas and all that.

Ladygreek, I actually understood that. But if you took the time to figure out what I was asking or perhaps didn't make useless comments about me listening if Senusret speaks (usually I listen when anyone speaks), then you would have known that.

Perhaps you should read my specific question. Heck I will ask it again for you just in case you do not want to read back.

Are the line caps imposed by a school specific to orgs or are they always the same for all orgs?

-Rudey

Because?

Speaking of useless comments...

lol

don't worry MsG....it's par for the course for one who possesses a miniscule intellect.



:(

I see so you had difficulty reading earlier and do not or will not answer the question posed?

-Rudey
--Did you go to Howard?

Someone answer this fool's question so he can shut up.

LOL, okay but just for you since both of his questions have already been answered.

Rudey,
It is my understanding that a school's policy applies to all of the orgs it is addressing.

I stated in my post on page 1 that I did not go to Howard.

The school's policy is, of course, applied to all orgs it is addressing. That is the definition of a policy - to address something. This doesn't answer my question.

A school can have a policy that has a line limit of 5 women for DST and a line limit of 10 for AKA and in that case "a school's policy applies to all of the orgs it is addressing."

A school can have a policy that has a line limit of 10 women for DST and a line limit of 10 for AKA and in that case "a school's policy applies to all of the orgs it is addressing."

-Rudey
--Perhaps you attended school with a lower 6 year graduation rate?

I believe that this question was addressed here.

Marie, you believe wrong.

I am asking about school imposed limits and if they differ from chapter to chapter. That post you quoted did not address that.

-Rudey
--This is why people should strive to attend schools with higher rankings

At many schools, the AKAs and Deltas are more likely to have over a certain number per line as compared to the fraternities and other 2 sororities. So, if these schools have caps, the line caps operate across the board but are assumed to only apply to certain organizations. Having varying line caps often defeats the purpose of a line cap.

Perhaps Rudey needs to contact Howard's Greek Life office.

LOL, I see you really don't want answers, you just like to agitate.

Well then, I will address it.

The school, if it choses, sets the MAXIMUM number that ANY org can take, and then the org has the discretion to accept any number of members up to that MAXIMUM number. However, this is a GENERAL explaination. Anything more specific would have to come from the Greek Affairs office of the campus in question.

NB: there may be different caps for IFC/NPC orgs and NPHC orgs to account for the difference in rush procedures and policies.
