Appropriate Sanctions for Recruitment Infractions

[victoriana]

We don't use the quota system. Chapters can give out as many bids as they have open spots in their chapter. For example, if chapter ABC has 35 members out of a possible 55, they can give out 20 bids. If chapter XYZ has 50 members, they can only give out 5 bids. I'm not 100% sure on the specifics, but we were informed that taking away bids would be possible. Generally situations aren't severe enough to warrant strict actions like that though. Usually a chapter will be slapped on the wrist and put on probation by Panhellenic. A rush infraction at my school is defined as dirty rushing through breaking the rule of strict silence, talking about membership selection, or breaking party ban. Sorority members aren't allowed to attend any registered parties held by fraternities or be seen at any unregistered parties, regardless if they are held by Greeks or not.

As you'll see, they can't do that either. You may not have Quota, but you are bidding to Total. If they sanction you by limiting the number of women you can bid, that is expressly violating #3 by limiting your ability to reach Total.
