Titchou, I REALLY appreciate the explanation.
When I pledged Beta Nu in 1973, I didn't go to any events from any other group. No one was concerned about maximizing anything, and on bid day, some women got 5 bids and some got none. To be honest, I'm not sure what Panhel even did.
But then, during my college career I don't think we had more than 20-22 sisters at a time, and the largest chapter on campus probably didn't break 30. Total was something like 80, so we never even bothered learning what it meant. It wasn't until years afterward that I noticed the Anchora listing those chapters who were at quota/total and began being confused.
I still detest the conventional rush system, but I'm starting to understand it better.
