I have to ask
I read this - again: "Being a legacy can matter, but the reality is there are more legacies going through xxxx recruitment than there are spaces for all the PNMs. "
Now, I didn't go through a typical rush, especially not at a southern, competitive school, and we didn't even have "quota" or "total" in our vocabularies, so I have a question. I don't want to I can't wrap my brain around the math.
If quota is (number of women who attend preference)/(number of chapters), and assuming there are few women who send more than one legacy in a given year, it is mathematically impossible for there to be more legacies than spaces, isn't it?
I suppose it's possible there are more XYZ legacies than spots in XYZ. And I understand the point is to try to make rushees understand that there's no guarantee they'll get Momma's chapter, but am I missing something mathematically?
