Southern Methodist '06 Recruitment Results
 

The Jan. 18 '06 Daily Campus has an article on IFC and Panhellenic recruitment results (not detailed with every chapter's results, however):

Concerning the Panhellenic sororities, the story does say that Chi Omega got quota plus four (but doesn't say what quota was or how many Chi O got), and that Kappa Kappa Gamma got 45.

I suppose some GCers will be able to fill everybody in over the next few days.

SMU's rush is really really small.
Wow.

I thought theirs would be alot bigger

ADDG reported over in the DG forum that SMU's quota was 51.

Interesting, guys using a pref system.

Even though it's small I think it is very competitive

Quota of 51 isn't small!

Our quota for the ladies was something around 75.
So yeah, it is.

I can only think of 2 schools - Arkansas and Ole Miss - with quota set that high. Maybe there are others. I would guess that 99.999999999% of campuses have quotas lower than that. SMU's is not small, yours is unusually large. (Don't flatter yourself - I'm talking about quotas here.)

Quota vs. Total
 

Perhaps you are confusing 2 terms. Quota refers to the # of pledges a group can take each rush period. Total refers to the entire size of the group. Thus, assuming SMU groups take quota each rush period, their sororities have over 200 members. This makes them one of the schools with the largest memberships in the US. Hardly small!

No, I understand what I am talking about. I'm sorry, our quota was 70 I believe this year but all went over except for one. Which, makes SMU very small. However, comparatively it is big for their school.

i'm sorry ilikehazing, what campus are you speaking of?

If you think SMU is small, UNT (my alma mater) had quotas at around 25 (at least when I was there).. membership in the sororities was still about 100 sisters per group. We had a very active greek system.

It really is just all perspective. For me, quota of 50 is HUGE.

Yes, 50 is huge in 90+% of the country. Quota at the University of WA is only upper 20's to low 30's.........

It seems that ilikehazing must go to Arkansas. Lucky them.

Ole Miss.

Quota at Ole Miss was 84 this past Fall.

And has already been said, is an unusually large school in terms of quota and totla. Definitely NOT the norm.

Agreed. I was just pointing out that ilikehazing claims to know what he is talking about, yet was way off in the quota number for his own campus. Aside from Arkansas and Ole Miss, I know of no other campus with quota that high.

There are many campuses with large quotas/totals... However, the majority of campuses fall into the teens-30's for quota.

I am sure there are more, but (in the last five years +/-) the following schools have seen NM classes of 60ish or over.

UCF
LSU
Ole Miss
UT-Austin
Tx Tech
Auburn
'Bama
MS State
UFL
Oklahoma
Arkansas
Missouri

What an asshole.

The whole point of my post was that my schools quota was alot higher than SMU's, which was even more proven by the quota you said. Jesus.

I've seen less assholes on the other board than this one.

I never disputed that quota was very high at your campus - in fact, I emphatically agree that quota is ridiculously high at Ole Miss. My post did not emphasize your point as much as it corrected the facts behind it.

SC is a private university. It had a freshman class of 2763. Quota at SC in fall of 2006 was 56, according to the campus newspaper. Some houses achieved over quota, the highest being 62.
