IF you maximize your options at UCLA, it is HIGHLY LIKELY a PNM will receive a bid. (There are tons of threads why it's not 100%, but "highly likely".)

UCLA has QAs (Quota Additions) -- if you are ONLY invited to ONE Pref party, it is HIGHLY LIKELY a PNM will receive an invite to that group.
This does NOT mean SIP/Single Intentional Preference (aka "Suicide"/only listing 1 GLO when you went to 2 parties for Pref).

And since UCLA has a large # of upperclassmen (due to transfers), there is a high UC quota (2-digit) and MOST chapters maximize the UC quota because there are so many women who have stellar qualifications (grades, activities, leadership, philanthropy, etc.).

Finally, UCLA has a good # of International Students who are at the university for just 1 year (their "study abroad" program) and these women can be "IQAs" -- International Quota Additions, that are not counting in quota.

So for an EXAMPLE, if quota is 58 with 42 freshmen and 16 upperclassmen (or rather, upperclasswomen), a New Member Class could go well beyond 58 with quota, QAs & International QAs. With all NMs added in, it's not uncommon to go 2-digits above quota.

More women in Greek Life!

And there was much rejoicing ...
