2007 UGA Recruitment

My concern would be the same group of chapters would all ready be the big ones on campus. QA would just place a PNM first with the smallest of the biggest chapters.

It might happen occasionally, but I think that it's fairly uncommon for a girl at UGA to pref three of the very largest groups, but I may be wrong. (Here's a link to the grade reports that have membership numbers on them: http://www.uga.edu/panhellenic/academics.html. Although there is a lot of variation in numbers, most of the biggest groups don't seem to get the QAs, or many of them.

But even so, is it better than she not be placed?

I think we all like to think that she would take a COB to a smaller chapter, but this year, I think only two groups will be eligible to COB in the fall, and unless they raise total or a lot of girls graduate mid-year, there may not be that many additional groups in the spring.

Does anyone know which groups are doing COB in the Fall? If any? I would love to hear that girls who didn't find a home might have a chance to take another look at the sororities doing COB...

I am thinking of schools beyond UGA. I'm sure there are many schools where it could happen.

I suppose it could if the number of quota additions went unchecked, but if the problem emerged then they could go back to a hard cap on the number of quota additions.

At the schools where you can look at the data, the number of girls who maximize who don't get matched seems so small relative to the total numbers that it would be better for the system and the girls overall just to place them. Or at least try it for a while to see how it goes.

But you are right, other campuses might be really different. What has your knowledge/experience been like with them?
