They knew the girls really wanted them, and that they probably wouldn't pref other houses because they had been promised a bid to ABC, so they were able to get quota, plus an additional 10-12 girls. We heard rumors from the Rho Alphas but really figured it out when they sent us a list of COB's. They had cut every girl on that list right before pref! Basically, because we didn't know how to deal with is nothing happened to the chapter. How is this dealt with at big schools????

I take it the chapter that did this wasn't at total and the additional 10-12 girls got them there? If this keeps up, make a panhel rule that groups can't open bid a girl they cut from formal rush or something of that nature.
This was obviously a chapter being advised by someone (probably an advisor from another school) who knew how to "work the system." I would let them know that Panhel is on to them and if it continues monetary fines will be forthcoming. That will most likely (if your school is the type of school I think it is) hit them a heck of a lot harder than a relatively unenforceable social probation. Also, if the majority of groups at your school are below total, it should be lowered. Unrealistically high totals are what breed situations like this one.
