But the release figures don't seem to add up...

We have 15 sororities and 750 PNMs. That means quota would be 50 if everyone made it to pref. Round 2 consists of 10 events.

The release figure formula is:
Quota x number of events divided by %return = number to invite.

This can also be stated as:
%return = quota x number of events / number to invite.

So, using these numbers to calculate % return, we get:
% return = 50 x 10 / 300 = 167%.

So unless they're really expecting 2/5 of PNMs to drop (yielding a quota of 30 and a return rate of 100% - which is still pretty darn high), or PNMs are cloning themselves, it seems to me that the sororities should not be obligated to cut so heavily at the start of rush.

Are my numbers off? Or can I just not do basic math?
