Excerpt from local news report is below..

Please note that one sentence says 80 women were "placed," while the next sentence says each of the five chapters got 14 new members.

My concern is that 5x14 doesn't equal 80.
Or am I doing multiplication wrong?
Big smile and slight frown.

MONTEVALLO — Several University of Montevallo students anxiously awaited the arrival of bid day Sept. 13 to find out which sorority they matched with during formal Panhellenic recruitment 2010.

Eighty women were placed in sororities to conclude the recruitment process, which began Sept. 9.

Each of the five chapters on campus received 14 new members this year, said Jenny Bell, the university’s coordinator of student life programs.

The sororities include Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma and Phi Mu. . . .

I would guess the 80 should be 70.

Accidentally found this, but 80 is probably correct. They quoted the GL adviser as saying every chapter got 14, but in reality every chapter got at least 14 girls. I think I counted more than that in every NM class photo I saw from all 5 sororities. But then, according to the article we all have houses, too.

I just noticed Phi Sigma Sigma is listed as an active chapter at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and it hasn't been on campus since I was a freshmen there in 2003.

Someone must know; in the meantime, "is a puzzlement," as Oscar Hammerstein II wrote.

I believe quota was 14. AGD reported 19, so everyone taking at least 14 seems more accurate.
