This is a really good idea to prevent having to have two structured rushes - especially with THON in the spring. (I have no doubt that had a lot to do with the birth of this concept.)

Yep, chapters may COB up to total prior to formal recruitment and then take quota as well. It worked great this year, as you can tell.

Yes, regular quota was 27 and upperclassman quota was 5, and many groups either did COB beforehand or got quota additions or did snap bids. In other words, a very successful recruitment!

Also remember that total was just upped in spring 2010 from 85 to 90, so many chapters are adjusting to that change as well. I will post more results as I can come by them.
