I don't know about the regret vs non-regret, but I do think this is where all the drama of a week in such an intense bubble really does bite these girls in the arse. They would almost assuredly be happy in any chapter, but it's sure hard to believe that in the middle of the hype.

IF UGA updates chapter total every year (as RFM wants them to), then there will be a few opportunities for COB in the next month or so once the number gets re-set. This isn't a method I would recommend, but they still could have an opportunity to pledge as a freshman.

I wonder about the effects of having less of a bubble. I agree that recruitment makes people nuts, but it also has its own momentum. Do we get more happy members across the board pushing 1000+ women though in less than a week or would we get even better results with a more laid back process? I'm not sure.

I'm kind of changing the subject here back to total: since most groups have shortened the new member period, wouldn't it make more sense to re-set total shortly after initiation (for most groups) rather than about halfway through the new member period?

Or is the new total supposed to happen right after bid day so that you can add new members to the new member class from formal?

I wonder what would be optimal in terms of picking up members from the pretty substantial number of girls who dropped out/SIP. It bums me out every year when I see how many girls who I wrote recs for don't pledge at all.
