I'm a bit anxious. I posted my concerns on the Theta forum yesterday and Benzgirl was kind enough to provide a thoughtful reply. My daughter selected two, versus three, sororities on Preference Day (Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Gamma), thereby reducing her options for a bid. Benzgirl thought she would remain in contention for a bid by having selected at least two sororities, although Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Gamma are purportedly among the most popular at Ohio State.

Interestingly, over a half-dozen PNMs mentioned they also received two highly desired sorority options and a third choice they absolutely did not want among their Preference Day options.

Mere coincidence?

Bamadad, I PM'd you.

AOII Angel- I've never heard of quota additions, so I assume OSU doesnt do them.

Historically, OSU never needed QAs because of the quota/total structure. You could snap bid, though. With this year's change, I have no idea what to expect.

Yeah, that is a system used at a lot of schools to maximize placement of PNMs. Not everyone uses the system, and I didn't think that OSU did from hearing about the style of recruitment.
