Why so cranky? About 98% of the 2000 posts on total/quota are from women who understand and don't understand total/quota.
Nobody answered PSK's first question. "Also, why do sororities go with a single bid system. " What is the purpose of only 1 bid?
I am sure I will get the standard answer that if you have more than 1 bid and did away with total and quota, then the big sororities will get bigger and the small sororities will get smaller and die out. I dont buy it because it's already that way. Most sororities go under because of numbers, while fraternities go under because of risk management issues. I think there is a thread titled "small chapter syndrome" or something like that, that talks about how there is such an emphasis on totol, but PNMs won't pledge a small chapter that isn't at total, so things backfire.
Look at what happens when PNMs dont get matched with their first choice. Some of them drop out of rush. If sororities changed total, quota, bid matching then the PNMs woudn't be as prone to drop out. Some of the PNMs will pledge the bigger sororities but some of them will pledge the smaller sororities. Both will benefit.
