Oh OK, that makes more sense. I think. So in other words, if 50% of 300 rushees at a 10 sorority school signed bid cards in 2008, and quota was 15, then even if there are only 200 rushees the next year, you're also going to assume only 100 of them will sign cards and quota will be 10. (Sorry if all the numbers are confusing) IMO that is assuming a lot.
I don't know, I just think quota should be what is happening THAT YEAR, period. Plus if you're using release figures, it should be weeding out the people who wanted ABC and only ABC. In other words, IMO again, using release figures correctly should kind of be eliminating the need for quotas at all. The girls should be over their unrealistic expectations and know pretty much where they are ending up by pref. And the sororities should have gotten rid of the girls they have no intention of bidding.
