I was just paging through an old U of Arkansas yearbook and in the rush section, it said "This year, Panhellenic voted to limit sororities to 33 pledges per house..consequently, Bid Day meant more disappointments than usual as 623 women competed for only 264 spots." I was horrified! Knowing that system, I'm sure that at least 3 of the sororities wouldn't have taken quota, which means that even less "spots" were open.
It was a '78 yearbook so some of that year's rushees no doubt have daughters rushing now and UA Panhellenic now goes with NPC rules on setting quota. However, I can't stop thinking about the unpledged women. UAF wasn't big on open rush back in the day and the unpledged women probably never got a bid there. When we set an overly small quota--when so many women go bidless, does this create enemies of the Greek system? Do the women "get over it" and find happiness in other groups? Does anyone have any feedback?
