Yeah, bed quotas are pretty tricky...basically, IU sororities require that you live in the your house sophomore, junior, and senior years. Some chapters have optional live-out policies senior year. But because everyone lives in the house, there are literally only so many beds available. So if there is a very small number of girls leaving the house the follow year, a house will be able to accept a smaller number of girls for their new pledge class. Conversely, if a large senior class is leaving, they can take a larger number of girls. It's all really tricky and kind of a bad system, but it's unique to IU and it probably won't change for quite some time. Thanks for your well wishes!
