Yes, to an extent. Each chapter could still add 5 women to their bid lists and place 100 more women overall. Just adding 5 spots would increase the percentage placed by 5%. It would place more women and still have the chapter size the chapters seem to want. The bed quota just makes it odd because the chapters range in size so drastically. Just making a campus total would make the situation better, in my opinion. Even with a uniform total, there would still be stronger and weaker chapters, and I think that it is/was IU thrives on unfortunately. (The previous statement is personal opinion and based on past experience and college women I talk to when on campus in the fall.) I don't think the chapters at IU want to be at 300, which they would be if the placement rate was average. I don't think I would have liked a chapter that large, but who knows? If that's all I knew, I guess it wouldn't make a difference.
