Ok... Thanks so much for the explanations
So that brings me to another question then. How do you get the necessary data to justify expansion, if that could be a possibility? For example, due to the nature of recruitment, and these girls being the type that "typically wouldn't go greek" the COB only with total could possibility limit greek life interest. It's been a long time coming, but both chapters are alot more stable now. With total where it is right now, it's possible that both chapters will be just at, or maybe slightly over total with formal recruitment and quota. So lets say that total is 35, both chapters have 30 going into formal recruitment and quota is 10. Okay... so I know that some of you are going to say "increase total!" but I don't know if that is the right answer. What if a 3rd chapter could be needed? If we had total at 35, and several years of formal recruitment and both chapters ending up over total after formal recruitment, it may be a good time to discuss expansion. But if you do COB only, you limit the chapters to only picking up enough girls to meet total, and won't necessarily know if there is enough interest to warrant a 3rd chapter, because the girls who didn't join aren't the type to express interest because they didn't know that greek life was really an option, nor do they care.
I'm a money person - I feel ya on the amount of money spent and the effort, and think it's a very valid point, but I think last years quota was artificially low. Quota is typically 9-12, and we're hoping it will be more than that this year. 15 would be AWESOME (fingers crossed).
