You have no idea why they realeased any upperclassman during formal recruitment. Did they release ALL upperclassman? Apparently not since they are only 5 under and upperclassman quota was 12. No chapter can be forced to take women they don't want. Your obsession with this sounds very unpanhellenic and smacks of sour grapes. One would think you disliked you upperclassman new members.
The chapter who did this got their quota of 29 underclassmen during formal recruitment last fall, then got 3 quota additions and just pledged 5 more freshmen during COB. So this chapter now has a freshman class of 37. That's wrong.

It's not wrong. This is what the 26 NPC organizations have agreed on. If a chapter is not at total at the end of formal recruitment, they can continue to recruit until they reach total. You, as another chapter, have absolutely no say in that. If you would like to face the stigma of not making quota, your chapter can decide not to bid any upperclassman PNMs and COB freshmen to your heart's content.
You may not like the scrutiny.
Apparently you posted as I was writing this. You seem to be such a "rules" oriented person. I've gotta tell you that this "fairness" issue will get you nowhere. Fair is in the eye of the beholder. Fair is being able to recruit the same number of girls. If that means getting them all in formal recruitment... that's great, you don't have to waste your chapter's time and effort COBing. If you get your numbers through COB and formal recruitment, you have to work harder for the same numbers. It is the other chapter's business if they "underinvited." You still DO NOT KNOW why they did that. There are a plethora of reasons for them to legitimately do that. The release figures are a suggestion not a mandate. Just be happy that your chapter is at total with the minimal amount of effort applied. That's the ideal. Being mad at the other chapter for choosing to do it another way is silly.
