Remember that Formal Recruitment, isn't really recruitment . . .

Here's the deal though, James: at the campuses that we're talking about, for the most part formal is the only recruitment.
In the NPC system of recruitment where you use quota and chapter total as a means of leveling the playing field and maximizing girls' opportunities to pledge (which seems like the spirit of it to me), all the chapters are expected to get the number of girls they can during formal recruitment "quota", and the chapter total amount is usually slightly less than four years worth of quota (there are different ways to figure it).
The only groups that COB/COR are the groups who were unable to have quota number of bids accepted during formal recruitment or that are under chapter total even after taking quota in formal.
Basically the very fact that you are COB/CORing at these type campuses contributes to your image/reputation problems since only chapters that didn't get quota in formal are participating and that makes you seem less desirable. With chapter total, it depends on the year. In a year where total was adjusted upwards, a lot of groups will be participating in COR/COB despite having recruited to quota in previous years because it will represent the first opportunity that they can. But in most years, it seems to reflect a membership problem relative to other groups.
