^^^^It's been the same in my experience as well (at a number of schools I work with.) QAs tend to be placed based on the PNMs preference. That's why at times you'll see a chapter hit quota + 6 or something high like that. Because they were given the QAs who ranked them high.

Some chapters don't like that method because at times, an already strong recruiting chapter will get like 6 or 7 QAs (because that's just the way PNM preference worked out) while another barely makes quota or misses it altogether.

It sucks, but my theory is that if Patty PNM wanted XYZ and was in the position to receive a bid there as a QA, she should get it just because if you place her elsewhere based on other factors, she will most likely depledge anyway.


Ex: If she is in the position to be matched with XYZ (her 1st choice) as a QA, and Panhellenic says "well you know, ABC needs one more to make quota, she ranked them 3rd, so let's place her there" and matches her with ABC, she's not going to be happy and she's probably going to decline, leaving ABC with an open spot anyway. So I'm all about QA placement by preference.
