If all 1394 PNMs make it to pref and sign cards, then you divide 1394 by the number of sororities and that is quota.

Yes, but recall that colonization considerations are being made to the RFM calculations. And recall that the not insubstantial number of grade risks are in that number too. I'm trying to get it an idea of the % of grade risks, because after that is where we can begin to say quota might look like X.

I didn't want to complicate matters, but should have said so.

Just a word
By the way, I really want to thank all of you who have kept GC going and relevant. I relied heavily on what I read here when both sons went through, particularly the first. I graduated from AL in a house that is also at OM, but things are so different than in my day. Your information/education/encouragement is so appreciated. My only girl is going through this year, so here I am again, round 3, relying on your advice and good common sense. Good job, and y'all can clearly see from the numbers of "reads" that you are a valuable resource!

You can fuss at me if you want, but fuss at MP too (see above). Plus, my comment was clearly hypothetical. To think that PH would bring a new colony in expressly because our system is too big, and then to also think that there is zero chance that they would make any adjustments to quota even in light of a growing PNM pool, is naïve.

No, you and MP are saying two different things.
Quota doesn't get lowered because of the colonization. However, under RFM, there is an assumed PNM drop-out rate that figures into the calculations. In a year that there is a colony, it's assumed that more PNM's will drop out than in a year without a colony.

Quota
WOW is right! I'm a little confused about quota - FSUZeta, are you saying that they divide the number of girls that are invited to at least one pref night party by 9 and that's quota? So theoretically, if all 1394 reached pref night there could be a quota of over 150? That would be a huge pledge class 
I'm a "numbers person" so the math behind it is interesting. So 1394 less the grade risks less some # due to colonization/9 is quota? I had no idea that was what determined quota.

No you are correct. However, but PNMs will drop out of recruitment and some will be cut by all the chapters (hence why Mary Poppins wants to check the number of PNMs that are grade risks). So it is highly unlikely that quota will be 154.
