The article states that every woman who went through was matched, which I read as 100% of women attending preference receiving and accepting a bid, and those nine women who didn't complete the process likely didn't finish due to grades, an NO REC from a member, changing their mind (either invitations or about Greek Life in general).

To the best of my knowledge all groups made quota, and there were 21 women as quota additions.
97% is amazing. I think that you only get there by having a system that focuses on the greek experience rather than being so "life or death" regarding a particular group. Too many girls I think lose faith in the system of mutual selection.
