Quite honestly there are some chapters that cannot keep their houses full and they NEED to.
There is somewhat of an old row/new row feel - the older houses are literally older and smaller, the newer are mansions and on the outskirts of campus. No one has ever outright mentioned it to me but that's the only thing I can think of.
I think if IU did go to quota/total it will help the smaller chapters - they might actually even out. It seems like women are more likely to go heavy for the strongest chapters if they get cut they are out - and maybe a lot of other women with them (tent talk). If they increase quota, women will stay longer and have a chance for a bid.
Who knows though, if it's already socially stratified so much, it could be the same problem but now with a quota/total.
And to 33girl - the NPC HQs may not have thought it was a problem b/c their chapters are 120+ and they are excelling in every area of their own standards. Plus I think every national would want to be on IU's campus so why rock a boat?
There are a few I know that I think are going to put up quite a fight.
