The presumption was that they are smaller so they "had the room." But we have since been corrected that they are in fact one of the larger chapters on campus. Which would seem to indicate that QA's at Auburn are going to girl's choice, not smallest chapter. Since Auburn seems to have achieved chapter parity, this may be the way they have to go since no chapter is in need of an extra 30 girls or something.

Perhaps chapters with a lower relative recruiting strength or lower retention rates are favored for QAs? Just ideas. Not saying this is the case with Auburn Theta...just that as a new chapter, you're generally not top of the totem pole right away. Of course it's not out of the realm of possibilities that lots of PNMs may have wanted Theta and/or that because of a possible lower relative recruiting strength, they had a bunch of women attend their party whose only preference chapter was Theta, and per guaranteed matching policies, Panhellenic would have to match them with Theta.
