I did a little research after sororitygirl2's reply, and I now understand a little more about quota additions, but still am slightly confused. Here's the thing...
Quota was set at 19, which means that 57 girls went through preference (quota is set after the third round, right before preference here). So 57 divided by 3 is 19...those numbers work. The sorority that ended up with 2 new members (and no, that's not a typo) released a lot of girls apparently and only had 11 or 12 attend their preference...the other two had about 40 at their preferences.
After reseaching quota additions, 5% of 19 is .95 which is rounded up to 1...so then the sororities with additions should only have been able to add 1 girl to the 19 for a total of 20...but one ended up with 21 somehow.
Personally, I don't agree with what happened. I understand that Panhellenic was trying to place the potentials into organizations and be fair to the potentials, but in the process, they weren't being fair to the organizations themselves. 14 girls ended up without bids for whatever reason (5 of those 14 didn't sign preference cards at all), and had the 3 additions not been allowed that number would have been 17. I just hate to see the numbers that different, it doesn't make sense to me.
