Remember that there is no guarantee that those 4 or 5 women will in fact receive a bid from your chapter. I know you said it will take a lot (essentially doubling your chapter size) to reach quota, but you have 80ish amazing women attending your preference event- if you all knock it out of the park, you could reach quota before those 4/5 women. Despite the confusion about your Panhellenic release numbers, there is NO WAY Panhellenic can tell you how to complete your bid list. Although this is a membership selection matter, so I know your sorority has its own rules on how the bid list is set, if these 4/5 women don’t endear themselves to your chapter any more at preference, talk to you advisor about ensuring they are on the bottom of your bid list. If you reach quota before you get to them, they WON’T receive a bid and you won’t have to worry about them joining your chapter!
