Thanks AlphaXiGirl for clearing up about it being too late to go through recruitment - I had to do real work and you beat me to it!
As we both said, UT recruitment gets a bad wrap b/c of articles and things that happened over 10 (OMG - it's actually been over 10 years since I pledged!) years ago. The horror stories of how tough UT recruitment was CAUSED the drop in our numbers. This wasn't the only factor but it was a big one.
Stories of how "it's too late" and "all the chapters already have their new members classes choosen" are what continue to feed these stories. I also don't think quota has been in the 60's since we went to setting quota the way the rest of the NPC world does (#of women accepting to second invite round divided by # of houses) instead of it just always being 60. I can remember when we had to change form a "set" quota to a "floating" quota. Everyone thought their houses would fall into decay b/c they wouldn't have enough new members to support them!
As was said earlier - this is still a MUTUAL SELECTION PROCESS. Like AlphaXiGirl said, they may have their top 150 - but how many of those are on 1, 2, 3 or 10 other lists chapters on campus??
It is never too late to sign up for recruitment. Waiting just makes you have to work harder to get all your stuff together.
