Why Sorority Recruitment is Horrible and Needs to Change

[Titchou]

True, only as many women as sign up and meet the requirements will get bids. If you interpret that to mean "only so many girls can get into each chapter," then you are definitely one of those 'glass is half-empty" folks. There are NO restrictions on the number of bids that can be issued at FR. NONE. It's only limited by the number of women who sign up...and meet the requirements. But there are requirements for membership in many organizations.

^This^. On the majority of campuses it works like this: say there are 4 sororities and 100 PNMs. If all PNMs make it thru every round of recruitment and all of them maximize their opportunities, i.e. list all the chapters they preffed on their MRABA, then most likely all 4 sororities will end up with 25 new members each, and all PNMs will receive a bid.
