Rhode Island 2006 Results

I know there are a few Rhody alums out there...here's the results I know so far...

Quota was 18. This year URI had an amazing year overall:

Alpha Chi Omega: 18
Alpha Phi: 18
Alpha Delta Pi: 16
Chi Omega: 18
Delta Zeta: 15
Phi Sigma Sigma: 17
Sigma Delta Tau: 18
Sigma Kappa: 18

I think Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Sigma Sigma may have snapped to quota, but I was not sure if they did. I know that Chi Omega had already COB'd more girls last night, but I'm not sure how many.

I don't know chapter totals this year, though ceiling was raised last year to 95 (though almost no house is even close). There will be a lot of COBing and informal recruitment going on...

If no one is close, why was ceiling raised to begin with??

Perhaps everyone was over the previous total?

Then raise it, fine, but not to something no one is even close to - it sounds like they went from 60 to 95 in one fell swoop.

This sounds like my school. Our total is 95, but quota for the past three formal recruitments has been 22, 22, and 21. It's silly because every chapter has to COB instead just the ones that need to catch up.

If a majority of chapters can COB up to 95, then there's no reason that total can't be 95.

Total shouldn't equal avg chapter size + quota...it should be based on the amount of women who want to go Greek, regardless of whether they want to do it through formal or COB. Obviously, there are exceptions, such as SEC schools, who would have 400+ chapters if they included ALL women who wanted to go Greek.

I think it has to do with the "almost" no one...the ones who fall into the "almost" part of that probably pushed hard for it, because they wanted to be able to have bigger NM classes then just quota. Just a guess...
