I love the Kappas, but I think California is the land of fruits and nuts (not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Hoosier,
Your comment about quota is inaccurate. Quota isn't put in place to keep the large sororities powerful and the smaller ones weak -- quota is actually designed to prevent the larger sororities from taking all the quality girls and leaving the smaller groups with none. If there was no quota, then the sororities could offer as many bids as they wanted, and rushees would flock to the top tier houses -- which, in turn, would cause the lower tiers to diminish in size and lose any chance that they may have had to increase their numbers. Quota keeps the playing field more level, and that is exactly what it was created for. Another purpose it serves is to prevent any sorority from becoming too large. If quota wasn't in place, some chapters would have 300+ girls, which would make it extremely difficult for sisters to get close to each other and participate in sisterhood activities.
Fraternity rush and sorority rush are two very different animals. I can understand the confusion that guys have about many of our processes. However, it's important that guys not make assumptions without having all the facts.
