They have always had quota, for awhile it was bed quota. Now it's Panhel sets a minimum number and chapters are allowed to go over it, but not intentionally under.

So it's more in line with how it's done everywhere else? I'm assuming this means lots more girls get bids? I know it was not so good for many years.

Congrats to all the moms and new members on this thread!

Just out of curiousity, has anyone read Paying for the Party (Armstrong?) She's a researcher and her research took place at IU. It's excellent.

No, but now I want to read it, since it's about my alma mater and from the bits and pieces I was able to read in the preview, I'm pretty sure I know which dorm they were in. (If it's the one I think it is, I lived there freshman and sophomore year.)

following up with the questions about quota, did we figure out for sure if a PNM maximizes her options in pref round that she is guaranteed a bid - sorry I missed this being answered already. Am hoping that this didn't happen to any PNM's this year!

Um, this is just about the happiest IU thread we've ever had here. Everyone is thrilled and getting their first choices. Has something changed? Is having the additional chapters helping? Is it just random that this year there are so many positive outcomes on GC?

Whatever the circumstances, congrats to all!
