WestcoastWonder- If your numbers on how many signed up are correct, and Dubaisis' % of girls who drop or are dropped is correct that quota would be right on the money for WSU.

Let's assume that in fact exactly 800 girls signed up to go through recruitment. Take out the 20% Dubaisis says usually choose to drop and you're now at 660 (at 20%, 160 girls dropped).

I spent A LOT of time on here looking for information about how many girls on campuses are usually dropped entirely by the sororities because we were worried when my daughter went through due to her GPA. What I found out was that consistently, even at very competitive SEC schools, the number of girls dropped entirely at most schools is about 5%. At WSU that would put the number going to preference at 620 (40 girls dropped entirely by that point).

Generally speaking at most schools they will take that 620 and divide them by the number of chapters. Doing that you get a "quota" of 48 (actually 47.something).

Edit: Please note that I have no idea whether or not it actually IS 48 (I'll trust those that say it was) - I'm just saying it would make sense given the numbers.
