Coming from a campus that held informal only once every couple of years (mostly due to a new sorority added or total being raised) I was always under the impression that the majority of the sororities making qouta, or nearly making qouta during formal is generally a goal of that campus' sororities.
Of all the women who are intereseted in going through informal, what percentage went through formal? and if a large number went through formal, did they choose to drop out or were they released? If this is the case, imo, greeklife may need readjust total or look to expansion.
If the majority of the women who are interested in informal and chose not to participate in formal, they kind of screwed themselves. Had the majority of them went through formal, using proper release figures, qouta would have been set accordingly.
We had a problem at the campus where I advise. During recruitment a rumor spread that it would be easier for the PNMs to get a bid to the sorority they wanted in particular if they went through informal in the spring. Due to this rumor, a majority of PNMs dropped out, even though greek life explained over and over again that this was not necessairly the case. In the end, more than half of the sororities got qouta and remain around total. Insted of having informal, to fill the spaces left by transfers and graduating seniors (which are minimal) the sororities are being urged to COB spring semester.
