At LSU..... Quota was set when it was supposed to be set, using whatever formula they use. I would assume that it takes into account the number of chapters, how many girls are going through, how many girls are usually released, and how many girls drop out. The only explaination I can give is that more women were staying in recruitment throughout the week. This is good and bad news for LSU sororities. On a good note, we've all reached somewhat of a level playing field and women are not dropping out after being released from particular houses. This is what Panhellenic has been aiming for for years here. Also, the quality of students attending here in recent years has increased. In my opinion, this has to do with the TOPS scholarship (for those of you that don't know, it is similar to the Georgia HOPE scholarship). It pays tuition and sometimes extra depending on your high school GPA and ACT scores, if you are a Louisiana resident. This fact, coupled with the fact that we are National Champions (haha, I'm bragging USC fans) has caused an increase in enrollment. I know it sounds funny, but just ask my friend who works in admissions.
My first instinct was to have quota additions. That is not possible because all sororities were at their chapter total. Many of them are currently at their max when it comes to issues with the fire marshall.
I would love to extend the panhellenic spirit and welcome another sorority here.
