As if you weren't already sick of the quota questions....

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.

Yeah from a sorority member perspective, this would be pretty annoying.

I think the "don't write down a chapter unless you're willing to take a bid" also has moreso has to do with the PNM being unable to rush for a year (whether she joins or not). If you're going to be bound to a sorority, you shouldn't list one that you wouldn't want to be in.

Exactly. List only houses you would be willing to become a member of. The fact a PNM is bound for a year is just one of the good reasons to really think about the choice. I wasn't trying to be "waaaaah, it's so hard for sorority members," but more bring up the fact the bid card (in conjunction with quota/total) affects a lot of women in the process: the PNM, the chapter, other women who may REALLY want that chapter...
