I apologize for the double-post; but, I wanted to separate this out.
So....for those readers still trying to work this out. Here's how I interpret what IndianaSigKap said:
Sorority ABC is a strong recruiting chapter and Sorority XYZ is a weaker recruiting chapter. Quota is set at 45.
ABC historically has a 90% return rate. Therefore, 45 x 100 = 4,500. 4,500/90 = 50. ABC can only invite 50 girls to preference round.
XYZ historically has a 70% return rate. Therefore, 45 x 100 = 4,500. 4,500/70 = 65. XYZ can invite 65 girls to preference round.
Some people might look at this and say, "OMG! ABC is sooo mean! How can they be so harsh?!" When, really, the system is trying to give the PNMs a statistically higher chance of getting a bid.
