Total at Auburn University is 160 according to my most recent membership report. Last year, quota was 58. That means that every chapter could take 58 women no matter what. If, after taking those 58, they still had fewer than 160 members, then they could COB. Quota is fluid from year to year, based on the number of women going through recruitment so it may be higher or lower than 58.

My thoughts about the sororities with huge chapters like Auburn are this..

No matter which one you join, if there are 100+ members, you are going to click with/get along with some group within that membership. With that many members, there are going to be scholars, partiers, socialites, athletes, etc. I think she should stick it out. You will see, if you read a lot of these recruitment threads, that sometimes the sororities do a better job of picking who fits best with their membership than the PNMs do and MOST women who accept a bid from a chapter that may not have been their first choice all along still find a wonderful home in that chapter.

So, I agree with the poster who said that she can only accept ONE bid and there are TWO sororities who see her great qualities right now, so why not see how it goes with one of those? COB is a rarity at Auburn.
