First-come, first-serve basis. If a PNM misses the first recruitment she must wait for the second. It would keep the NM classes smaller and give the NMs a chance to bond with each other and the chapter. And any women who miss the first recruitment would have an opportunity to explore other campus activities they might not have otherwise been involved in.

Someone previously mentioned a school that set a limit on the number of PNMs who could sign up, and my view was that it could become a freedom of association issue - interfering with member selection. What happens if your ISP goes screwy the day registration opens and you end up as #602? Also...I don't see what difference a NM class of 60 in the fall and 60 in the spring is going to make as far as bonding with the WHOLE sorority.
What was the old joke about overpopulation - "when we get to standing room only, the situation will resolve itself." When the sororities get large enough that the women are no longer enjoying themselves or feel like what they get for their money is just not worth it, Greek life will become less popular and the pledge class sizes will go down. Either that, or a group of girls will take the bull by the horns and start an interest group and bring a chapter to the school. At this point, an NPC might gamble on that before gambling on a ground up colonization.
