So what you're saying is women are getting dropped for grades anyway, or dropping out for whatever reason,
before the lack of spots is even a factor. So you think you would end up with the same number of pledged women with a quota/total system that you have now? What would change?
I'm betting that if women knew that rush was being run with Q/T, the number of rushees would be a LOT more than 1500.

A rushee on here straight up said that she doesn't think many girls will want to join an unhoused chapter. It will take more than switching to the total/quota system to change that mindset. It will take a campus culture change that everyone has to be on board with - or a school administration that forces it through with a "change or die" edict.
