When To Rush?

33girl, I think it depends... The Greek council makes that decision every year, based on availability. I have a friend who told me that for fall, there will be three openings in her sorority. So I guess fall is a bed-quota system, and spring is just the same number across the board.

Thanks everyone for your advice.

You seem to be really confused about how Total/Quota work - no worries, there are initiated members that don't understand it either. There are a couple threads around that explain it (one or more should be stickied), take some time to read them. You university can vary slightly from what's posted, but generally the info should apply.

Well no, bed quota is bed quota all the time and unless you go to IU, this isn't an issue for you.

More than likely, fall informal is occurring because there are groups under total. Your friend doesn't understand how it works - there's no way to know NOW how far a group will be under total. Yes you can factor in seniors graduating, but people might transfer, flunk out etc and not come back.
