I wouldn't think that cutting your own numbers be a good strategy at UGA. You'd just ensure the chapter had a really hard time bouncing back.

(For hazing, it might make sense, but we'd find news reports if this situation had anything to do with hazing, I think.)

But it's hard to see how setting your org. up to take less that quota is going to be a long term win in that environment.

As far as social probation, if this is the actual case, it seems like a decent internal solution. And as strong as the organization that might be involved is, honestly it shouldn't be a big deterrent to pledging for a sincere PNM. But I guess it depends on the severity of what it means.

It might not appear to be a good strategy, but it would put the facts out for the girls. For some recruits, this wouldn't matter, but for others it might make a huge difference in making their selection. Heck, with over 1300 girls and the number of girls who are already being cut, surely they would be still be able to recruit outstanding girls.

I go back to an early comment: The UGA Panhel council should put it ALL out there for the girls to know... the good, bad, and ugly.

For the record, I meant only the strategy of the group itself decide to reduce the numbers it took this year.

If a group is being punished, it seems only far to let the PNMs know it. BUT you have to be careful, because a lot of what people hear isn't true.
