Ok. I have heard of schools using bed quotas, but I am unfamiliar with how that works because schools in my area do not use them to my knowledge. I am still just amazed that only 52% get bids. Not that that is a bad thing; it is just so different from what I am used to. Good luck with your recruitment!

Yeah, bed quotas are pretty tricky...basically, IU sororities require that you live in the your house sophomore, junior, and senior years. Some chapters have optional live-out policies senior year. But because everyone lives in the house, there are literally only so many beds available. So if there is a very small number of girls leaving the house the follow year, a house will be able to accept a smaller number of girls for their new pledge class. Conversely, if a large senior class is leaving, they can take a larger number of girls. It's all really tricky and kind of a bad system, but it's unique to IU and it probably won't change for quite some time. Thanks for your well wishes!

I love your code names! Nice choice
I know it probably doesn't help, I had to wait less than 24 hours, but good luck! You can totally power through this break!
I hope you find your new home, this is one of my favourite recruitment stories that I've read here!
