The intense thing is...they did raise quota so that everyone could take two more girls....but when then matched everything up the remaining girls all wanted us...in fact 12 girls got dropped from preference because they put us and only us with no second choice...we got the two when they raised quota...but we couldnt take anymore..it was sad...70% of girls who went through recruitment put us first!! and not only that but girls who just pledeged in said that girls werent putting us first because they heard everyone else was and they thought they wouldnt get in. Crazyness....I feel like it should have been explained to them better...but what can you do..we got amazing girls..and next year will only get better...now littles is our next issue...we dont really have enough girls to even take littles!

Some of the sisters will have to take more than one little. I would advise that the sisters who can financially and emotionally afford a little sister to coe forward to the NMOC so that she can keep those sisters in mind when doing the big/lil placements.

Also, dont forget to utilize your alums. SOme alums would love to help donate funding, or supplies to the chapter to help out with big/lil stuff.
