That's what I would imagine, as all but one of our groups is generally at total after formal recruitment. My belief is that we need to do better at getting freshman go go through in the spring. It is not uncommon for juniors to receive bids and often times there are approximately 10-15 Sophomore and higher going through recruitment and Quota varies from 11-14 and has been at the lower end of the range the past two years. What then happens is you see one class being larger so that sororities have issues of dealing with classes of 15-20 individuals graduating which can cut the sororities in half. So it's not uncommon to see one of the six having a larger fall class, although it generally alternates between the sororities.

My instinct is the AGDee which is that unless multiple sororities are consistently under total following formal that total needs to be lowered but conventional wisdom on the campus tends to lean towards thinking that if Fall COB is eliminated due to total being lowered the problem will cease. It feels like a reactive response vs proactive response but I wanted to get some input as to whether I was viewing the situation wrong.
