Sorority Rush is over at Nebraska (as of last Friday).
From what i"ve heard, the number of girls going through rush was around 525 ~550. About 410 got and accepted bids, and only 6 girls that went through all the rounds did not get a bid. So that's almost an 80% placement rate!
From what I've heard, Nebraska did something where quota was set for individually for each house. Alpha Phi had a quota of 21, while other chapters had quota as high as 50.
I don't particulalry believe this however. Nebraska does make use of a "ceiling" and chapters are only allowed to reach the ceiling. Regardless of what quota was, chapters could only have total numbers that reach the ceiling.
For example, in the past Alpha Phi has only been allowed to take 35 or 38 girls despite the fact quota might have been 52 or 46.
As explained to me by a girl that I normally trust - it appears that the quota number was simply the number of girls a house could take to reach their maximum. So it just seems to be a matter of changing the vocabularly of rush...or this girl just being dumb.
