My chapter--DZ at Jacksonville State--got 14 girls, according to my extremely unscientific method of counting new faces in the pics some of my sisters posted on Facebook.

According to my source at inCircle, JSU just started using RFM this year. I guess some chapters screwed it up. Hopefully next year will run better. AOII reaped the benefits this year.

How could they screw it up? Cutting way more girls than recommended? Cutting people that were "unrealistic" for them?

I'm sort of fascinated by the situation because I've never heard of a situation where only one group on a campus made quota... at least not at a southern school where sororities take most of their members via formal recruitment.

I went alum in '06, but I'm relatively certain that we were using some form of release figures back when I was active. (I don't really know how it worked, though, honestly.)

I know the last couple of years, the quota additions were out of hand. When quota is 15 or 20 and some of the chapters were taking 8-10 quota additions and others were only taking 9 or 10 girls through FR period, I guess Greek Life finally decided to take some steps to sort that out. If so, that's great! It can't do anything but help, in my opinion.

I just think it's weird that if quota is determined by dividing the number of girls attending prefs by the number of sororities (5 sororities in this case), then I'm confused as to how at least one or two other chapters didn't make quota. Of course, if they cracked down on release figures AND did away with the crazy quota additions, they could possibly be why.

Alpha Xi Delta at Kansas State has 53 new members

[sailboatgirl]

Results from Northeastern State University - Tahlequah, OK

Quota = 14

Alpha Omicron Pi = 14
Alpha Sigma Alpha = 15
Delta Zeta = 17
Sigma Sigma Sigma = 18

My friend who is an advisor just called me with the results...they just had finished matching when she called me. I'm not sure if the girls have all picked up their bids yet or when bid day starts!

Theta at TCU took 47 new members (quota + 4).

[srmom]

Here's the results of our neighborhood girls:

U Texas- 2 Chi O, 1 Theta, and 6 () Kappas, also, my one sophomore rushing there went Alpha Phi.

A&M- 3 Chi O, 3 Pi Phi, 1 Kappa, 1 Theta, 1 AXO, 2 Zeta, 2 Tri Delt (including a sophomore), 1 DG

TCU- 2 Chi O, 1 Zeta, and 2 dropouts

LSU- 2 Kappas, 2 Pi Phis, 2 DG

Georgia- 2 Chi O, 1 Pi Phi

Alabama- 1 Kappa

Florida- 1 Theta

That's all I know for now. It helps to go to the football game with many chatty and happy moms

I know the first year or 2 at UGA RFM messed up quota for the stronger groups. And by messed up, I mean that groups that ALWAYS take quota didn't and had to snap.

Ah ha.

Can anyone comment on what groups - "top tier" or otherwise - would do to screw up RFM? Is it just growing pains, or are they not properly following RFM recommendations?

When we first started using the RFM, there were groups who cut more than the release figures determined that they had to. It was because they thought the # given was "too few cuts. than they normally had to." They just didn't understand that it was good that they got to got to keep that many girls.

We're tiny and I'm not so sure if anyone has mentioned yet but per a discussion I was having a little while ago:

Western Carolina University

Delta Zeta:14
Alpha Chi Omega: 10

I'm not so sure about the other three but I've heard these too were the biggest so somewhere below 10? Honestly not really sure though...

[DZHBrown]

DZ at UGA has 63 new members.

Univ of Louisville 26
Iowa State 29

A very tired advisor wrote me Tri Delta at SC took 64 new pearls. The quota number was 60. I do not have information about any of the other chapters at this time.
