And that's no slight to ANY other NPHC organization, but it just seems like if your org has 300-400 interested girls and you can only pick 75, that's just not fair.

And if your org has a legacy stipulation, then you're really screwed.
Which is one of the reasons we don't have a legacy stipulation.

The cap thing is interesting. I know Howard use to put a cap of 50 on a line (and maybe they have reinstated that,) but it didn't seem a problem because Alpha Chapter didn't select that many anyway--on their own.

IMO if you are as selective as you should be, then a cap does not matter.
