Hey bellefille, I hope you have a fabulous recruitment. OSU is such a wonderful school, with lots to do and great sororities. Please dress warmly, so you don't freeze your keister off any more than you have to! (DD had friends who bailed from recruitment because of horrible weather last year.)
As to quota system, I believe it was changed as of this autumn. In the past, as said before, your house could have a maximum of 100 girls. Even if you still had room under quota. So, for example, if quota was 25, but a house was at 78, they could only bring in 22 new members. (78+22=100).
IF I understand what DD was TRYING to explain to me, now you can have up to 100 members before Formal, and then bring in quota at Formal, without worrying about the 100 girl ceiling. So, consequently, informal (which was for sophomores and up only) this autumn was a bit different, I think all sororities participated, because they had more spots available. As a result, a few houses already have around 90 girls due to strong informal recruiting numbers, when they normally would have had around 70-75. So even if a house has 90 girls, they will be able to bring in up to the quota number, probably 25ish?, as compared to the past, when they would only be allowed to bring in 10. Based on numbers on OSU's website, it looks like 9 of the 14 sororities can make 100 if they hit quota of 25. A few others are a just a couple of girls away from that. I was kind of surprised at the change, as there are still a few chapters who consistently do not come close to 100, and that this would hurt them more. But the powers that be must be seeing increased numbers and stronger interest in sororities.
