If a PNM like the Panhellenic president is from Tulsa or OKC, she might have connections and could possibly squeak by without a rec (albeit with limited options).

And the fact that she is the Panhellenic president does NOT mean she necessarily had a great recruitment, either.

And the fact that she's the Panhellenic President means that she could have gone through recruitment 3+ years ago. Things change.

Right - to be blunt, there are probably 4 chapters at OSU where a PNM could get a bid without a rec, but do PNMs want to be THAT limited? (And that doesn't mean those 4 chapters will take anyone - they won't. But, I would imagine a nice girl who makes a good impression during recruitment could get by there if the chips fell into place for her.)

Does anyone know if there is a sophomore quota at OSU?

I asked this question to an adviser there. She just texted back, "what is a sophomore quota?" So, I'm guessing no. They haven't used UC quota in the past.
