She also posted quota and matched numbers for every group in the other IU thread, but that post also seems to be gone. I thought it was interesting information, though if it was that readily available was surprised no one else hadn't already posted it.
According to her list there were only 5 groups that matched less than 50 members, and 2 of those were at 48 or 49. That definitely accounts for the increased number of bids and decrease in girls who went to Pref and wound up bidless. (saving editorial comment on that for another day...)
Good for IU and the chapters. We aren't going to get our wish of quota/total in the next few years, but incremental increasing of their definition of quota won't have all the problems that they think it will. These girls in the 50 member pledge classes will not know any different than having 50 girls in their pledge class. Interestingly there were a lot of chapters that had exactly that number, including some who historically take much less, so it does appear that Panhellenic put that suggestion out and many took it.
Next year if they go to 53-55 the sun will still come up and those girls will know no different either. Increasing by even 3-5 a year can go a long way when there are that many organizations on campus.
It may take 5 years, but how long have we been waiting? This is the most promising sign that I have seen.
