My understanding is QA's go to the lowest recruiting strength chapter. If you're talking 3 chapters that all make quota, the lowest recruiting strength chapter may not be apparent by those not in the know or sitting in the room with the computer and the lists.

In this scenario, this girl SHOULD go bidless, but unfair as it is, she would get a bid.

I thought some QAs could also go to the PNM's first choice? I am probably wrong and DubaiSis is probably right, but I want to make sure I have my facts straight.

And that totally sucks for the chapters involved.

The MOI is remarkably vague on this. The people placing the QA's have a lot of leeway. They are supposed to take into consideration the chapter size, the relative recruiting strength, and the PNM's preference.

All campuses that I have dealt with place quota additions based on PNM preference rather than on a chapter's recruiting strength. I feel like PNM preference is by far the more common method.

What have others who have worked on numerous campuses seen?

In theory...but in practice, it seems the bigger chapters get the most QAs. That's the way the formula works (but don't ask me for a specific explanation!).
As before, the big get bigger and the small either stagnate or shrink.
