Why don't you go through formal recruitment at your school? If being part of Greek Life is that important to you, why did you wait until your junior year to pursue it?

The number of bids is determined by the number of women still in recruitment after pref party divided by the number of sororities (a little simplified now that we have RFM but that's the gist of the process.) Having another chapter wouldn't fix the problem of 80 juniors with no affiliation. No new chapter is going to take 80 juniors. Most new groups take majority FRESHMAN, sophomores and a couple juniors. Also, expansion wouldn't necessarily open an new chapter in time for you or the current juniors to join the chapter. It takes a bit of time to go through that process. It's not an overnight thing.

The ONLY campus that doesn't do this is INDIANA.

This.

The only way that chapters would be restricted from taking PNMs and exceeding total is if the campus only held informal recruitment. Otherwise, if every chapter had 30 members, for example, total was 40, and there were 90 PNMs left after pref, each chapter could take 30 new members (90 / 3). Each chapter would have 60 members; 20 above total.

Potentially every PNM could receive a bid after pref, regardless of what total is.
