They dont have a set number of girls that will get a spot..it is based on how many attend preference parties on the last night. For example..(and this is very simplified and might not be 100% correct) if there are 10 chapters and 1000 girls are still in the running on preference night, then each chapter can extend 100 bids. Last year the quota was around 52. It will hopefully be higher this year because more girls are going through recruitment. It really depends on how many drop out before pref...in a perfect world, none would drop out. I hope this makes sense! Right now there are 13 Chapters and 1198 girls so if no one dropped out, each pledge class would be around 92..

I think the number is 1098...which like LBM said in the perfect world would be 84. Not sure what "percent" drop or are released prior to them coming up with quota but I bet quota is higher this year!

I don't expect to hear from her until late this evening but I am sure she is doing fine! She was super excited to begin the process. Do you know if UT uses RFM for their quota system? The chapter I used to help with (obviously not UT) used it and I know the methology pretty well...but I guess I never paid attention if UT uses it...I am guessing yes, but that would be just a guess.

Ok so Sweet Pea had a great night at skit night. This how it went down:

Leakey-She thought the skit was just really strange. Her rusher was a bit quiet but she was introduced to some officers. Since she really liked all the houses yesterday and she was waiting for some type of fireworks, etc, and this did not happen here.

Wimberley-She really enjoyed her time here. She continues to love the balance of Scholarship, Social, and a Philanthropy that really speaks to her. She can see a home here for herself and she is really excited about what a future here would be like.

Dripping Springs-A house that is very popular and Sweet Pea was happy to see them on her list, but today, they just didn’t deliver the feelings she was looking for. She still really likes them and was having a “tent talk” block about ranking a “popular house” outside the top three.

Kerrville-This house was certainly showing the love tonight. Sweet Pea had contact with earlier rushers and officers and she enjoyed the skit.

New Braunfels-Sweet Pea had some concerns about this house earlier in the week. She was concerned about the balance it was striking between Scholarship, Social and Philanthropy. She said by far the skit was the most well done and funniest. The great time she had here left her scratching her head (not in public of course!) in utter confusion.

Blanco-Again, this is another house that was really showing the love to Sweet Pea and Sweet Pea was really happy with how things progressed here.

So she was really confused as she sat in front of the computer. The only thing she was really sure of was placing Leakey last. She is really torn between the last five and said she could see herself at any of the five houses, understanding Dripping Springs may have just been having an off night since she had loved them earlier. So she took a deep breath and hit enter…….

1. Wimberley
2. Kerrville
3. Blanco
4. New Braunfels
5. Dripping Springs
6. Leakey

Even though New Braunfels completely dazzled tonight, Sweet Pea chose Wimberley, Kerrville and Blanco because they had consistently delivered all week and after reviewing her journal for the week she decided….slow and steady wins the race. With that said, she is having separation anxiety with New Braunfels and is glad that this process is back in the computer’s hands. She honestly could see herself at any of the top 5 she has listed (Knowing she really liked Dripping Springs all week...and maybe they were just "off" tonight). So now she waits…….. Pref Night Invites go out at 4:30 tomorrow night.
