I'm so sorry if this has been asked....but i was wondering if you guys can give me a run down (maybe in lay-man's terms? lol) of quota additions and what happens when girls don't get bids.

Here was my situation in the fall:

So supposedly there were 35 PNMs going through recruitment, and quota was set at 17. Well 17 + 17= 34, which meant that one lone PNM would be dropped from both groups (regardless of where she was placed on their list). (this is where it gets confusing).

I tell every PNM who hears a "bid matching mistake" story from sorority members about why they didn't get a bid to ignore it because usually it's never the truth. They weren't there and most of the time, they don't really understand bid matching anyway.

I would like to think I understand bid matching well. Corect me if I'm wrong but:

This story is false. The extra girl wouldn't just be dropped. She'd be matched as a quota addition to one of the sororities (assuming she preffed and ranked both of them).
