ETA: I'm imagining the potential disaster of getting all 26 NPCs then changing to a quota/total system. How many chapters would close.....

Actually, none of the chapters would. All 21 chapters made quota (or higher), with 317 women who didn't match. That means 1319 women attended preference and signed a bid card, meaning quota with all 26 NPCs would've been ~50. If you added in the number of women who didn't match, quota would've been ~62. Still a very average to slightly above average PC size. IU has the PNM interest to sustain all 26 unless the PNM pool drops or PNMs decide to shun a specific chapter or chapters.

This is mainly what I'm thinking. You can't add more chapters in the current recruitment system, claim it's working, and then change the way recruitment operates and think that every chapter will thrive.

It seems to me that adding more chapters is just delaying the inevitable. There's clearly a problem with how things are operating now, but it seems like they're choosing to ignore it and just bringing on more groups.

And those groups have no houses, which to me, shouldn't be a problem, but it obviously is for some of these PNMs.

I feel like something's going to blow up soon. But that's just my opinion (and FYI, I'm only basing it on what I've read online here, and on a few other sites).
