[QUOTE=violetpretty;1646055]I was thinking maybe that 36 was the optimal number to match as many women as possible. If the big chapters don't make heavy cuts after the first round, the damage is done.
The seemingly high figure could be the result of setting quota too early. In the past, I have seen that some campuses would set quota based on the number of women after the second round, on the night before Preference, etc and not make any adjustments as women withdrew or were dropped from recruitment. Hence an unrealistic quota! It just seems so obvious that the final quota should have been based on a number relating to preference (ex. number of invitations accepted).
I explained this once to a chapter advisor who was complaining that quota was lower. When I looked at the stats for the years she was addressing, there were not enough women attending preference for each chapter to have a decent shot at the quota set 1-2 days earlier.
Would this have solved everything for all chapters? No, but it certainly did not help.
