just wanted a clarification on things with informal rush.
I am transferring and my school's greek advisor said not every chapter participates during informal recruitment. So I guess it means only the chapters that didn't meet the quota last year recruit??
How does this chapter quota work? If they took a lot of new members the previous semester, is it likely that they are not going through informal or COB? The school I am transferring to doesn't have many chapters and I am worried not many of them are doing informal. I feel like it'd hurt my chance of getting a bid if I wait til Spring because I am a junior.
Depending on what university, your chances may already be limited because you are a Jr., and those sororities who are participating in Informal MAY be your best shot at getting a bid.

OK. There is quota (the maximum amount of new members you can get through formal recruitment) and total (the maximum number of members a group can have). A group may do informal if they did not meet quota OR if they are still below total. They are not required to do informal, however. A chapter that has just one open spot may have a friend of the chapter already in mind, for example, and may offer her membership without holding rush.

Chapters who are not at total (ceiling) are those allowed to COB or do informal recruitment. It is possible for a chapter to make quota and still do COB and/or informal - if quota didn't bring them up to total.
It really just depends on a lot of factors -- how many people graduated, etc.
