Ginger, when they figure quota, they run the numbers on how many girls get placed if quota is 30, what about 31, what about 32, and they put quota at the best figure and then add as many quota additions as they can. But some schools seem to choose an artificially low number and have everyone have tons of quota additions. Technically you could have quota be 1 and everyone has 59 quota additions. You'd end up at the same place. I think (don't know for sure, but I know there are some advisors who have been in the room with THE COMPUTER and have seen it in action) some schools weigh quota additions in favor of the chapters and some in favor of the rushees. The huge quota additions may have something to do with that as well. But I'm just speculating.
Why do girls drop out when they get cut from their 1st choices when they still have several perfectly good chapters available? There are many threads on here that discuss reasons, from they're snotty spoiled children to they just don't understand the process. I think there are probably nearly as many reasons as the girls who are dropping out. I wish they wouldn't, but what else can you do?
