Another Update?!

According to speculation around the Greek community at the school, allegedly only three chapters made quota? I believe a little over 800 women participated and I noticed in photos and while out and about, pledge classes were quite small. So I guess informal recruitment may be a little more popular?


Anyway, it's all just he-said, she-said. Theres always gossip and rumors floating around on Bid Day.

I'm afraid you and I are on the same boat here. I'd like to know as well.

Pledge classes could be quite small, but that doesn't mean only 3 chapters made quota. That's not how RFM works. If 50 or 100 or 1000 girls attend preference parties, they are thrown into the computer and the machine determines what quota should be in order to match the most number of girls. Because the chapters have made mandatory cuts through the process, the girls couldn't all end up at only 3 chapters. Now a truckload of girls could have dropped out and turned what should have been 50 member pledge classes into 25 member pledge classes. But that doesn't mean they didn't meet quota.

But based on how it works at really successful Greek schools, there shouldn't be more than 15 or 20% reduction between start and finish. If it's more than that, there's a problem with the Greek system there that needs to be resolved. This isn't 1 or 2 chapters spoiling the fun for the rest. In my opinion only, of course.
