Dirty Rushing and Consequences

Exactly. Just because your "number" is zero, doesn't mean you actually want to accept everyone or can particularly when it comes down to grades.

Well, what it meant to a chapter I advised is that the NPC Area Rep *and* the release figure expert were calling me and the folks above me in the organization....and then my NPC Delegate called me....and all of them wanted to know why in the heck my chapter was cutting more women than the release figures said they were supposed to. And then there was the visit after recruitment....

Despite the fact that the chapter took quota +1 - the women happened to be really good recruiters and the chapter was consistently one of the "top 3" on campus, and so they could technically afford to be a little more picky.

That said, it was a calculated risk they ran, and I let them do it. But after the NPC backlash, I didn't let them do it again. Too much drama during a high-drama time of the year.
