There is talk about snapping up or COR to quota and/or total, but what about the chapters who are above total? I'm wondering if the "no shows" can cause number problems with chapters who are still over total after the no shows are removed? (I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but please correct me if I'm wrong.)
For example, let's say total is 100, and a chapter has 85 before recruitment. The quota is set at 25. By matching quota w/ 25, the chapter should now at 110. Wh00t, above total, great! However, let's say for whatever reason 10 women decide to not pick up their bids and walk away, dropping the NM class to 15 women. Because the chapter size is actually at the total mark of 100 with the 15 new members, the chapter can't fill the now open 10 spots with women who would want to be a member, right?
If I'm indeed right, I think this really stresses the importance of "don't write down a chapter unless you are willing to take a bid from that chapter and even try it out." After all, how aggravating to a chapter since their quota matched class now only took 3/5 of what they could have! Also, I could see the new members wondering what happened if they look around and see their chapter only has 15 new members, but others have 25.
