Well I go to the University of Oklahoma (haha...Boo Texas!!!
), and the way our recruitment system is set up here is that quota is set so that every girl going through rush will get a bid if she doesn't decide to drop out or go suicide. You have your prefs and the houses do their prefs and a computer program takes the figures and automatically does the calculations as to who goes where and stuff based on who you picked and how the houses rank you. That way, everyone is put somewhere. Girls aren't guarenteed 2 houses on pref night, but if you get 2 houses on pref night, you are guarenteed a bid from at least one of the houses. The thing about it is that quota is set from day one (I believe it's the total number of girls rushing divided by 12) and girls drop out, so everyone gets 2 houses on pref night. The catch is that if all the houses cut you, you'll wind up getting houses that you cut on the first day of rush on pref night (it's very very unlikely). I really do like our system of going about it. I bet Texas has something similar.
