The ONLY thing from the "tier" setup that is possibly feasible is GPA. If a fraternity has (example) a 3.0 GPA, they can bid 1st semester freshmen - if they have below that, they can't. That is IT. To rate them on anything else is completely unfair as everyone's national is different. Delta Chi is twice KDR's size nationally - I'm assuming with that difference, they have programs available that a smaller group simply does not. Not only that - there are only 3 fraternities - why on earth would there be 3 different tiers?

First of all, LOL at the first paragraph. And yes, I completely understand what you're saying.
The tier thing isn't meant to be "one fraternity is tier 1, another is tier 2, and the other is tier 3." All the chapters could be in tier 1.. or two could be in tier 2 while one of them is in tier 3... it would all depend on what they accomplished. Again, a very vague and complicated concept, IMO.
And I think the administration is listening to the Greeks concerning this issue, but they're not willing to hand over non-deferred recruitment so easily. They're making the chapters prove themselves, so to speak. I guess they're seeing how badly we really want this to happen.
It's just very confusing. The deferred recruitment discussion is at a standstill until a detailed system is proposed and agreed upon. Meanwhile, a discussion about changing sorority recruitment for the fall was just brought up in the last Panhellenic meeting on Tuesday. The discussion included changing from only COB to partially structured. Fortunately, it doesn't look like that's going to even come close to passing. No one here understands a quota system, and to throw that at girls the first week of the fall semester would be asking for chaos.
The Greek Advisor spoke to each chapter during their meetings this past week about all of the proposed changes, and had also mentioned discussing total. So...
Deferred recruitment, recruitment style and total are all being brought up at once, and I think the girls are overwhelmed already (especially with it being the very end of the spring semester).
