COBing fresh when upperclass quota isn't met

Plus, you're not considering those PNMs who intentional single pref (suicides) and do not match...which, unfortunately, does happen on our campus.

Yes, my numbers were minimums.

I'm not as "up in arms" about the advisors saying they underinvited, necessarily. I could see a conversation going like this...

Advisor of ABC: "I'm surprised your chapter didn't make quota"
Advisor of XYZ: "Yes, it turns out we underinvited"

Underinvited can mean that you should have invited 3X quota instead of 2X quota, in hindsight, because not as many women accepted invitations as they anticipated. That's different than intentionally underinviting in order to be able to take more Freshman in COB. After all, there are no guarantees that they'd be successful in COB. It's a risk to do that.

Heck, I don't even care if they did say "we didn't want to take the full upperclassmen quota, because we wanted to pick up some more freshmen." It's a strange decision, but it's their decision to make.
