Taking New Members After Reaching Total

[groovypq]

Thanks all. I did get clarification on this. Every chapter is currently at total (or one shy). In the past, it seems that chapters were allowed to go over total in FR to "replace" the seniors that would be graduating. When the Greek advisor says "no COB," he is meaning that he anticipates everyone being at total after FR, so it won't be necessary. Fall (informal) recruitment will be used to "replace" the seniors that will by that time have graduated.

Thanks for the responses! :-)

FWIW, I always thought that the reward for taking quota in the first place is not having to spend so much time on formal rush!

I'm confused. You CAN go over total during formal recruitment-unless you're a chapter at Indiana(maybe a few other schools) that have a "bed" rush. Formal recruitment is the only time you can go over total , by pledging quota. As Honeychile said, that is the benefit for pledging quota. There shouldn't have been two sets of numbers running, i.e., pledging quota and in addition, pledging "x" girls to replace seniors who will be graduating at some point that year. Glad the Greek advisor clarified what he meant.

And let me guess, when fall rolled around, there were seniors who had been "one class shy of graduating" and were still there.

Glad your new GA put the kibosh on this - it sounds like your campus is finally getting on the right track.
