Suzanne,
I haven't been on the board in a while and curiously enough, I just finished reading another post on the Rush board about recruitment at Long Beach. (I think this is your university. If not, please excuse my mixup.) The person was an alumna that helped her chapter with recruitment there and noted that no house there pulled even close to quota. She said that even the typically strong houses didn't make the number and that all the houses are now in a position to COB about 10 or more to make quota. She was wondering if Panhellenic made a mistake by not dropping the number for quota.
I realize that this probably doesn't ease your disappointment (I would be disappointed for the members too), but it might explain where things went south in the whole process. Hopefully COB will bring some more new members.
Your chapter is lucky to have comitted alumnae like you to help and support them!
