the reason I ask is that I thought it was a computerized system of bidding but your post makes it seems like there was a human element involved as well - which means bids and acceptances could be manipulated - which I don't think would happen - but if it completely computerized and fair girls would receive their first pref if that sorority also chose them

No PNM should receive her second choice when she was on the quota list for her first choice. That is the reason for quota additions. I, also, cannot understand how everyone can be over quota unless someone who was under did snap bids.

Did a lot of girls not get their first choice?

Aren't quota additions done AFTER the computer has worked its magic? In other words, everyone who can be matched with the program is, and then those few pnms still unmatched are added to chapters they had expressed an interest in . . . ? Or did I misunderstand?

THere are no longer quota additions as we used to know them. Auburn does use ICS for their recruitment so bids are computer matched. RFM allows for a "quota range" to be initially set. Once all the cards and lists are in, the computer program adjusts that so that the maximum number of women are placed - without regard for the original lowest number in the quota range. So it is incorrect to say that someone had to snap bid to quota in this case.
Quota, in RFM, is a floating number that is used to ensure that all women, if possible, are placed. Under RFM, the only women left with no bids are the ones who single preference if they can list more when their choice is equalizd with everyone else. The program penalizes you if you do that. The only time that doesn't happen is if the campus guarantees everyone at pref a bid. In that scenario, they will place you where you want. Most campuses do not do that as the whole purpose is to get you to maximize your choices and keep your options open. In other words, everything you knew about quota setting and quota additions before RFM, toss it out the window. It no longer is relevant.

I just found out that two great girls from here (my hometown) went ADPi (Honey: High Fives!!)and one went Gamma Phi Beta. Two girls at Georgia Southern went Phi Mu and KD. Now waiting to hear final results from about 8 girls at UGA.

Oh, and Honey, I forgot-at ADPi's reunion this summer, one of my sisters two years behind me said that her daughter was rushing at Georgia Southern this fall-she just sent me a FB message saying her daughter pledged ADPi!

To get back on track: Congrats for a job well done to Auburn sororities!

BID DAY PICTURES

Bids were handed out at the rugby fields this year instead of the amphitheater. There was an enormous amount of friends and family there to witness the event.

I'm loving the pictures
