futuregreek?'s rush at Nebraska!

I am a fairly recent UNL Alum where I was a member of one of the sororities on campus. The sororities at Nebraska do use a quota/total system. It is not based on the number of empty beds in a house. Most women do not move in until their sophomore year. A few will move in at semester but not very many.
Each year Greek Affairs reviews the number of women registered for recruitment and the number of active members in each chapter. I'm not exactly sure how it is done, but a campus total is determined. The quota for each chapter is then the number of women they must bid to reach total but not more. They try to make total a number that each chapter can reach through Formal Recruitment. They do have "bonus girls" or quota additions which can move a chapter over total but this is usually only a handful per chapter at the most. By doing this, all of the chapters have the same amount of members. If women graduate at semester or drop out, the chapter can COR up to total.

I knew it was related to total and Lincoln girls opened up more spots back in the day (1980's). Other schools do have "bed quota" but we never used it. However, we were required to live in after freshman year. The only way to get out of it was to get married!
