I have heard about a new panhellenic formal recruitment proceedure where . . . .

"Quota" sororities or "top" sororities HAVE to cut more girls on the 2nd day then say a middle or low sororities, that way the "top" sororities cant string along some poor girl who is a great pnm but "wants" only one specific sorority. That way she is forced to give other sororities another look or not go greek.

I would say (I went to a university with 4 sororities) that out of 120 girls going through recruitment, EVERY SORORITY wants the same 75 girls, and another 25 are still great girls (but, maybe aren't quite good at playing the recruitment game) and 20 are maybe questionable or unknown (i.e. no rec or seniors or questionable ethics or grades or whatever)

I have found that with all of the sororites looking and recruiting different girls, meaning . .

Alpha - wants 50 - grades-involvement-personallity-community etc
Beta - wants the same 50 cause of grades-apperance-involvement etc
Gamma - wants 50 cause of campus involvement-financial stability
Delta - wants 50 to make quota

with quota being 25 (for example) and

alpha and beta going for the same girls and having to cut the others that gives

delta and gamma a better recruiting chance and still the "top" sororities get the girls they want anyway.

I have heard that has already started at a few large SEC schools and it was a success for everyone involved but especially helped the middle sororities who don't necessarily compete with "top" sororities but are strong sororities in their own right.

I don't know if that answered any questions but I found that interesting and I am looking forward to seeing how it works at smaller greek universities.
