A BIG TEN Recruitment Story

[Blue2]

I looked at those stats from the link above and the number of women that go unmatched after preference. Seems like a lot? Can a very large school like IU use another group? Anyway, good luck and study hard on those final exams!

There are multiple solutions which could alleviate the excessive number of unmatched bids each year.

1.) Move from bed quota to regular quota and set a chapter total. IU does not have chapter total set by Panhel. I believe that chapter sizes range from 160ish to 110 and that is the chapters' choice.
2.) Allowing seniors to live out would mean 20-40 women could be added to each chapter.
3.) Move recruitment to August prior to school starting so many girls would not have been influenced about which chapters are the "best" chapters. Many of the women who drop out do so because they did not receive invitations from chapters they "liked". Don't get me started on this one, the chapters at IU are large enough that I think women could be happy in multiple chapters, I know I would have been.
4.) Free up the land on Jordan for sorority expansion. This would give the two chapters without structures a chance to build some type of dwelling/meeting space. Then use the land to attract the remaining NPC chapters.
