Mean or median average? It would make a difference. I know at SDSU they've used the median to set total every year after Fall Formal. Which means every year half the chapters are under total unless there's a multiple tie for the middle.
I *knew* someone would bring up mean or median!
Without knowing the specific chapter numbers at LSU to run a comparison, my guess is that using the median average might (should?) allow more women to potentially receive and accept a bid.
I think that most of the chapters at LSU are above campus total, hence "average chapter size." This way the smaller chapters can go ahead and bid above total if possible, so they can get caught up.
Hopefully one of the LSU ladies on here will weigh in

That and also, so that women who may have missed fall formal have an opportunity before next fall.
According to the Greek Life Office at LSU, there are only 2 chapters participating in Spring Recruitment - Kappa Alpha Theta and Zeta Tau Alpha. Does anyone know of the results?
