This seems to be close to the way that Arkansas did quota until the mid seventies. Most of the sorority houses could house about the same number of people so quota was set at whatever that number was, let's pretend 100, and there were 9 sororities. The thing was that, again, most of the PNMs wanted to be in 4 (or if pressed, 6) of the chapters and the number of PNMs grew every year. They dropped out of recruitment if they didn't get one of the bigger houses.

This left hundreds of unbid women--somewhere on GC, I put down the number that I found in my yearbook--and created a lot of antiGreek hostility, especially aganist the Big 4.
