I know the campus Trish speaks of, and only COB is a
terrifying idea to me. I simply don't understand the logic behind COB only campuses, and how chapters can be successful. This school had one year, before quota and total were implemented, where one chapter for 16 NMs, and the other got 8. There was alot of bad blood that year, unpanhellenic drama, and the following year was when quota and total were implemented. COB doesn't force you to have quota, and quota is
absolutely necessary. "Formal recruitment" at this campus is also necessary, because as Trish said, safety in numbers, and the PR aspect of it. Girls who wouldn't consider sorority membership come out because their roommate is going, etc.
So if you do have experience with COB only schools.... how does it work? How do the chapters recruit fairly? Do they still have quota? And if so, how is it set? If you don't have formal preference and a set number of girls signing bid cards, how does quota get set at a reasonable number that all chapters can have a fair shot?
Not that I see this campus changing anytime soon... but I'm curious to know how this would work without one chapter getting completely screwed, or greek life interest completely dwindling (this was the fate of one chapter on campus before the other arrived...) because the engineering super nerds won't come out of the dorms. Hah!
