I agree. You have to accomodate all sizes. A chapter is going to pledge tall, short, large, medium, small and extra-small women, and it's something we should talk about!
My advice for new member shirts at bid day-- better to order mediums, larges and a couple of XL's for the new members, and get the smalls only for the chapter members who request them. Get chapter member sizes in advance and get shirt samples so everyone has a size reference.
Better for the NM's shirts to be a little roomier-- they can order other letter shirts later on that are better tailored and with the bid day shirt being their first, they will wear it on campus anyway, because they are so excited to be a member of your sorority!
Talk to the Panhellenic Recruitment Team about their thoughts on this year's quota-- I agree you want to look at the past couple recruitments and see how quota has grown to estimate.
Extra shirts are great gifts for alum, moms, boyfriends and homecoming buddies! Or next year's new members, etc.
