It was a quota addition of 17 girls, simply because nearly everyone in their parties preffed them. Great for them, but it will be interesting. Total is at 120, and they now stand over 210.

Another group got 67, one took 65, and one too 63.
The only group under total gave out 66 bids, but no word on how many accepted yet.
It's been common in years past for the quota additions to be even, everyone taking between 2 or 3, or only up to 5%. I know the 5% cap isn't there anymore, so that may have caused the disparity. But 17 on top of a quota of 58 is a 30% addition.
But with groups who only took quota, they actually look like the failures here.
I don't know why quota was so low considering most groups were expecting it to be in between 60 or 70, but maybe uneven preference lists?
The group that took the most is (apparently) an up and coming chapter, and blew numbers out of the water all week long, which messed with the formula considering three years ago was the first year they hit total.



only four girls who suicided got regrets though, and that's a record low.
I'm no release figure expert but it seems that your campus needs a new method of placing quota additions.

Do you all have guaranteed placement for all PNMs who maximize options? Is there a big discrepancy in that some chapters pref girls who were online invited to pref that chapter, meaning that if they list that one, they've "maximized" and must be placed there?
