Does anyone have an idea of how many girls will actually get a spot? Thanks for all this great info!

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.
