**Maybe I'm a perfectionist, but the CHAPTER is responsible for knowing what their campus rules/quota/total is. If a National Officer told them to COB to 150, they should have said "Wait. . .our campus total is 145". National Officers can only work with the info you give them. . .don't be afraid to inform them of the truth.

It was not caught earlier because there are no specific bid card procedures for informal rush. Girls who de-pledge this semester can rush in the fall and join any chapter they choose. This has been a problem for a long time, IMO, and I wanted to change it back when I was president, but it didn't affect enough chapters to get any attention.

**Correct me if I'm wrong, but de-pledging and joining another chapter 1 semester later is in DIRECT conflict with the Green Book. Changing this campus bylaw requires no vote, it is simply struck down immediately due to it's conflict with the NPC Agreements. No discussion needed, no vote by CPH required.

**Once again, National can only work with what the chapters tell them. I don't accept the response "Our National told us to." Did National know all the details?
Long story short, I think it's hard to place the blame on any one person/group. As far as the Greek Office, I think that they need to look at their own process for registering and processing NM's, as well as keeping chapter rosters correct. In any case, I DO NOT believe the chapter should go unconsequented. They of all people should have been aware of how many people they can have at one time. Chapters talk about holding their sisters to their standards all the time. . .what are the CPH and NPC standards we hold the chapters and organizations as a whole to?
