Expansion/Colony question

[DeltaBetaBaby]

In the year a group is colonizing on campus, are they included in quota calculations? For example, a campus has 5 chapters, and a 6th is colonizing in the fall. During FR, the new chapter is participating in open houses, and that is it. Is quota = PNM's/5 or PNM's/6?

It would be harsh to the PNMs in formal, but it would increase the pool of women interested in being Greek at the time of the expansion rush.

To my knowledge, unless they participate in all rounds of recruitment, they are not figured into quota.

Usually the group is not taken into account when Quota is set. There are some campuses though where the group enters the system through formal recruitment (Washington & Lee is the best example I can think of). In those situations though, the group participates in all of formal recruitment.

Generally speaking, most campuses that have 5 or 6 groups have already implemented RFM, and use Quota Range, so the calculation is much more complicated that PNMs/x and is based only on who participates completely in formal recruitment.
