Okay....I have a question.

I was looking at the recruitment results page, and I'm wondering how the 5% rule actually works. If I'm not mistaken - AGD at UGA got 64 new member,s when quota was only 52. HOW does 12=5%????

I thought that the most any chapter could have taken would have been 52 + 5%, or 2.6 girls, rounded up to 3.

So how is it that they were able take take quota plus 12? I'm just trying to understand the process. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure AGD was under total before recruitment, and so the other 9 may have been Snaps (COBs) and not QA's.

I haven't EVER been involved in bid matching, (thank god, everyone), so I'm completely speculating based on random conversation with an active member and GC.

Technically the additional girls may be snaps or COB, but they are apparently extended only to girls who attended prefs, were on the bid list, and listed the groups, so the experience to the chapter and to the PNM is that of QA. The PNMS are matched to a chapter they listed after prefs and the PNMs were on the chapters bid list, which isn't the usually snap and COB situation.

But I can't figure out the numbers at all. I think UGA may be looking more carefully at all the chapter sizes when they balance the groups with additions. Rather than having hard cap at 5% for all chapters, they match PNMs beyond that cap at smaller chapters, thereby equaling chapter size out more. It seems to go beyond even matching them to total if total is really 170.

This kind of indicates my stalkery nature about UGA greek life, but when they put out the grade report, they usually put chapter size on there and we can kind of see how the QA groups stand. Usually the groups who are largest might only get one or two QAs.

ETA: not that it changes the discussion much, but I think that final quota was actually set at 56. Apparently they were working with quota range when the 52 came out as quota. But if you look, any group considered making quota got 56 or more.
