let me explain with last year's stats. we have 5 chapters and quota was 31. of course, there is a whole long formula to figure it out, so there were more than 155 girls still in recruitment when it was set. chapter A gave 45 bids, B - 43, C - 41, D - 35, E - 17. the chapters have to list single-party girls on their a-list (cause a chapter has to take each girl and the girl has to receive a bid from a chapter she preffed). then they rank the rest of the pref attendees. if the girls rank A as their first choice (no suiciding - have to rank both) and they are high on the chapters list whether a or b, they are likely to go to that chapter. but its a give and take cause a chapter may want a certain girl more than the other chapter, but because of her place on the ranked list, she may go to the second chapter.
is this kinda making sense?
Seems like this could really screw up a chapter in regards to quota. I'm pretty sure that all NPC sororities are required to put any legacies they've kept until prefs on their A list. So it seems that, through no fault of their own but because some girls are down to one invitation, they might have to pledge only legacies and single-party girls.
