Your thoughts on an odd event

We are currently in the midst of formal recruitment, and have had an occurence which I feel is odd, and wanted to run past other GC members to get a feel for the situation.

Seven freshman members of the swim team signed up (filled out and turned in forms and pictures) for formal recruitment. Later, their coach gave them their practice schedule and told them they couldn't participate in formal recruitment because of it. The girls spoke with the dean (apparently) but still attended swim practice instead of formal recruitment events. Most of us have not met them - it is as if they filled out forms and decided not to go through.

However, the dean of women (who acts basically as head of the women's end of the greek system) has decided that these girls WILL be included in quota - we should just put them in the list with the girls going through formal and act as if they are participating in formal recruitment when making our bid list, etc. All three NPC chapters will be doing this.

My question is: is this normal? It seems completely odd to me. I mean, I am sorry that these girls' coach will not allow them to go through formal, but they would be eligible for COB as well as informal recruitment next semester. I could see being asked to consider them COB girls, but not including them in quota. I'm having a difficult time because I've only met one of these seven swimmers. Clearly, the situation is unchangable and has already been dealt with, but I'm just wondering what everyone here thinks.

Your thoughts and opinions? Sorry that was so long!
