Some questions about Recs

[FSUZeta]

the only school we know that still has a bed rush(where they pledge only the number of girls that they have available bedrooms for) is indiana university. if you go to IU then what you are saying is true, otherwise, you are probably not understanding the process at your school.

i am not trying to out you, just want to make sure you understand how recruitment usually works.

I'm also not trying to out you or your campus, but it would be helpful to read some of these articles you cite.

"The sorority chapters are getting too big" does NOT mean "we're going to take fewer girls and throw the concept of quota out the window" unless:

• you are at a school with all local groups that make their own rules
  
• you are at a school where the administration (who did this? was it Ohio or Ohio State?) imposes an arbitrary cap on the maximum number of members each chapter can have. Usually this is an attempt by the administration to de-emphasize Greek life, and usually it goes over like a lead balloon (i.e. the interest in Greek life increases, not decreases).

ETA: We discussed the articles I believe you are citing on here previously and all agreed that the Panhel officers were either horribly misquoted or didn't know what they were talking about. If women CHOSE to drop out of rush because they didn't like the choices they had left, or CHOSE to drop out because they didn't want to be in a big pledge class, then THEY are the ones who ultimately lowered quota (and the amount of women the sororities could take) for all the groups at the end of rush. Women are not arbitrarily cut because the sororities are too big. NPC doesn't work that way. If chapters at your school were actually doing that, their charters would be in serious jeopardy because I can't think of any national group that would be down with this concept.
