And then there was the visit after recruitment....

Despite the fact that the chapter took quota +1 - the women happened to be really good recruiters and the chapter was consistently one of the "top 3" on campus, and so they could technically afford to be a little more picky.

That said, it was a calculated risk they ran, and I let them do it. But after the NPC backlash, I didn't let them do it again. Too much drama during a high-drama time of the year.
I don't understand why they were doing that. It sounds like they wanted to be sure their numbers "worked" and that chapter over-releasing threatened their statistics. Perhaps that's a bit cynical, but it wouldn't surprise me. My chapter "over-released" my senior year, and while they did not hit quota, they COB'd to it within a few weeks. We always love our COB girls anyway and if you can't take, for example, girls with low GPAs, why string them along?
