IU Recruitment
IU (and a couple of other large schools) operate on a "bed quota" system. It really isn't beds, but the quota for each sorority on campus for formal recruitment does vary one from another. It depends on how many women the chapter will be carrying into the next year - or conversely how many seniors will graduate, go alum at year 5 etc.
Recommendations are always an asset at a big school like IU. With so many women participating and so many chapters, it helps to get your name out there, and early!
Grades, participation in activities and your ability to present yourself in conversation with sorority women are critical.
Best wishes. IU has a great greek system. Let us know how it goes.

Do all sophomores, juniors, and seniors live in the house or do freshmen move in after bid day? If it's the former, each chapter would take the number they need to fill the house in the fall, which would equal the number of graduating seniors/5th years going alum/transfers/withdrawls, right? Like a "bed rush" for the following fall?

I believe the "bed quota" is the sophomores, juniors and seniors (although I have been told some houses let seniors live out). Freshmen have to live in the dorms all year.
PS- The "greek opportunities for women" meeting is TONIGHT! YAY!

IU Recruitment
Recruitment is deferred, so the number for quota is the number needed to fill the house in the fall. Not sure what current chapter total is. Many seniors do live out.

My advice to you would be to get recs to each sorority, preferably 2. It won't guarantee you a bid or even a chance to attend prefs but it might help the girls remember you just a bit more.
