Thanks Comrades True --

So perhaps the answer to KSUViolet's question earlier in the thread, regarding the reason for the significant increase in QAs over a year (from 2013 to 2014), is probably an adjustment (lowering) of quota relative to the number of PNMs who went through last year compared to the year before?

I think DeltaBetaBaby's example that she mentioned is the last post on this thread:

Whew! I need to reread all this before it sinks in a little!

Yes, Mndl.......you have given a good explanation. The SRC has less wriggle room, so a lower quota benefits them, in helping them make quota. Then, girls who only preffed them, or only preffed other SRC, end up as the few quota additions.

Also if any of the chapters were under total, couldn't some of them just be plain old open bids once the formal rush "window" is closed? Obviously they are not going to differentiate that or publicize that in their tally of how many women received bids.

Wouldn't those be snap bids? Do snap bids even still happen?

33girl - it depends on when numbers are reported.


Total number reported directly after bid matching = PNMs matched through bid matching or by snap bids. IME, this is typically what gets reported to, say, a university paper or website.


Total number reported after chapters can start COB = PNMs matched through bid matching or by snap bids or by COB. This could be what chapters put in a university paper ad.


If chapters who aren't at total are really on top of their game, they could have several people lined up to immediately bid after the "window" you were talking about is over. But this wouldn't have any impact on quota additions in any sort of official report.
