quota additions
 

trying to find the answer to another question, i came upon this explaination in the npc greenbook:

to paraphrase: there is a cap of 5% of quota for any chapters quota additions.
to be eligible for quota additions the campus must be using the npc release figure method.

as long as a pnm's name appears somewhere on the chapters bid list, she did not single intentional preference(suicide) and she attended all recruitment events to which she received an invitation, she will be matched to the fraternity chapter she listed on her membership recruitment acceptance form which is the smallest in chapter size. however, the group may not exceed quota by more than 5 %. if 5% of quota is a fractional number then the number is rounded up.

quota additions will not raise the overall total and it can only be used during bid matching

this is used for women whose bids did not match in the normal course of bidmatching and who must be placed in a chapter that has already reached quota.

wait is that last word total or quota?

oops!! thanks for pointing that out. i was not actually trying to make an already confusing explanation, more confusing:)

lol it just didn't make sense with "total" there :D

Thanks for posting it, I never really understood it as an undergrad.

so here is my question - if the

polly pnm ranks xyz first (and xyz reaches quota)
polly pnm ranks abc second (and abc hasnt hit quota yet)

will panhellenic put polly with xyz - so she gets her first choice
or will they put polly with abc to get them to quota?

If polly pnm put ABC on her bid card and ABC hasn't hit quota then polly pnm will get a bid to ABC.

Panhellenic will try to get as many Chapters as possible to Quota first before they look into quota additions.

Can "suicides" be added in Quota Plus?

I was told that PNMs who don't maximize all their options on their Pref Card make themselves ineligible for quota additions. But I haven't looked it up in the Green Book to make sure or for that matter it could be a campus to campus thing. Hopefully someone who knows could confirm or disprove this.

From the "green book" on Quota Additions

This procedure shall never include a woman who lists an intentional single preference on her preference Membership Recruitment Acceptance or one who has failed to accept or attend any membership recruitment event for which there was room in her membership recruitment schedule

If Polly PNM was only invited to xyz's prefernece party and she attended that party and she listed xyz sorority on her preference card, and xyz reached quota before she matched with them, would she be eligible for quota addiotions?

As I understand the process, she maximized the options available to her even though it was only one. So yes she should be eligible for quota additions.

But only if she also listed XYZ on the card as well, right? In other words, she would have to list a second (or third - or however many they are supposed to list) even if she didn't pref them -- otherwise, just listing ABC - for whatever reason - would = single intentional preference.

It would not be counted as a single intentional preference if she only attended one pref. If she attended 2 or 3 prefs and only listed one group on her bid card it would be considered suicide.

Someone who was only invited to and attended 1 Pref should be eligible for quota additions, but obviously only for that Chapter simply because she won't be on anyone else's bid list.

Next question. If a PNM suicides it disqualifies her from being considered for quota additions. She would still eligible for snap bidding though right?
