If no one is close, why was ceiling raised to begin with??

Perhaps everyone was over the previous total?

Then raise it, fine, but not to something no one is even close to - it sounds like they went from 60 to 95 in one fell swoop.

This sounds like my school. Our total is 95, but quota for the past three formal recruitments has been 22, 22, and 21. It's silly because every chapter has to COB instead just the ones that need to catch up.

If a majority of chapters can COB up to 95, then there's no reason that total can't be 95.

Total shouldn't equal avg chapter size + quota...it should be based on the amount of women who want to go Greek, regardless of whether they want to do it through formal or COB. Obviously, there are exceptions, such as SEC schools, who would have 400+ chapters if they included ALL women who wanted to go Greek.

Yay for a URI thread! Thanks for posting the results!

I thought that most of the chapters WERE at 85 (old total for those of you that don't know), that's why they raised it? I haven't been involved at URI for about 3 years now, so you probably know more than I do Kelly. But I thought that most were close? Does filling the houses have anything to do with it? I heard through the grapevine that almost every house had boarders.

I think it's great how well everyone did, totally different than in past years. Do you know what was so different that helped everyone get so close to quota?

Kelly and Jess, congrats to both of you on your chapters making quota! If you find out chapter totals or know anything about ZETA, I'd love to hear it!

Is that a local hoping to affiliate with Zeta Tau Alpha? Their name and colors make it seem that way.

I think it has to do with the "almost" no one...the ones who fall into the "almost" part of that probably pushed hard for it, because they wanted to be able to have bigger NM classes then just quota. Just a guess...
