AuMom08---
Congratulations to both you and your daughter. It was worth reading the entire thread to find out that I have a new sister and we all have a new "baby angel."

AuMom08 - congratulations to you and your daughter! Hope she has a wonderful new member period and loves her new sisters.
(Hooray - one advantage to being a sorority with carnations as the flower is 1.) they are always available, and 2.) usually inexpensive!)

SWTXBelle - I have often thought exactly that about carnations, although sometimes finding wine ones is a challenge and you end up going with spray painted wine-tipped ones. They look great if you combine them with blue-tipped ones.

more than quota
I have never heard of pledging more than quota. Is that part of the evening out process?

Actually, it probably has more to do with trying to place the girls. Often the groups receiving additions are already some of the bigger groups.
My impression is that when a group gets a bunch of quota additions beyond one or two it may be because they were smaller to being with than the other groups that the QA girls preffed.
The groups get to pledge more than quota because after regular bid matching some PNMs (rushees) who listed all the groups that they preffed on the bid card did not match to any group through regular bid matching. So panhellenic looks at the groups the girls listed, and sometimes they match by the girl's preference and at other schools, I think they do it by group size so the girls are matched to the smallest group they have listed.
ETA: it doesn't necessarily mean that every girl gets matched. Usually there is a cap on the number of QAs.

Yep, you and ADPi have it rough. AEPhi, too. When you can find Lillies of the Valley they cost an arm and a leg.
