[QUOTE=BuckeyeTriDelta;2016218]WAIT...say waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Did they raise total or just nix a chapter total all together... [QUOTE]

As far as I've heard it, they didnt get rid of chapter total, they just changed how quota for Formal Recruitment worked as of last year. Chapters could COB in fall quarter up to 100 (which used to be the set total) and then still take quota in formal recruitment. Quota used to be a somewhat arbitrary 25 women, but has now changed to what I think is a "true quota" system- the number of women attending preference parties divided by the number of houses, which is 14? (Correct me if i'm wrong on my terminology, the system was different back when I was a Rho Gamma and had to explain it all!) I believe quota for last year was 23, so after formal recruitment it left some houses with 123 girls and some houses with 60-70 girls, which never seemed fair or good to the system to me. The houses that did not pass 100 with the addition of their formal recruitment pledge classes could then COB in winter and spring, but only up to that 100-women mark.

Unless they've changed it again...
