AuburnDad - I'm not sure about the 6 houses, but what I can tell you about how quota is set--- there will be an initial establishment of quota range and it can change based upon how many women drop before preference with the goal being to match as many women as possible. It the old days, it was determined by how many PNMs ( then known as rushees) were remaining in recruitment just before preference. With the new RFM ( Recruitment Figure methodology) the goal is to match as many women as possible and therefore may change slightly. So, on thurs / Friday we may hear if there is a range. Final quota is determined by the RFM specialist who is an NPC representative.

I will tell you it works well for all chapters. It's been a great addition to the recruitment process.

That RFM is pretty amazing stuff. Hopefully that specialist did better in Calculus than I did.

So glad Emma and Cassie are having a great time!!! Good luck to both of them! I cannot wait to see this outcome!

I actually love the statistics part of recruitment, I know it may sound a bit sick but I do my own math each year (and I use the previous two years stats) with the two chapters I work with and so far I've been either right on or within one of the correct quota # for the past three years. if you love math its fun-- like I said, I love statistics ( I'm odd, I know)

Thank you to those sharing their PNMs recruitment stories with us. Aurburn seems like a completely different world from my schools in the northeast, and it's fun to live vicariously for the week. Thank you for taking the time to share!!

Good luck to all the girls!

All I know is that I couldn't understand a word he was saying. I just scribbled down what he was writing on the board and hoped it would make some sense later.
