^^^ And a wise AHC relies on the chapter reps to provide accurate insights into cost and member wishes and works in collaboration to assure a positive experience and positive relationships.

I was told “about 100” from a volunteer who was there. This could be close or totally off. I’m not sure that this person was focused on the numbers portion

People really need to look hard at that secondary quota number. I keep hearing "rushing as an upperclassman is so much easier because of the secondary quota" poppycock more and more frequently. At Alabama, a school so competitive that secondary quotas might as well have been named after them, secondary quota was less than 5% of primary quota. That's not because there weren't many upperclassmen rushing. I hope that those that need it will let that statistic sink in.

You know what? There are many things in life I want but simply can't afford. If you want to be a sorority member, but can't afford the fees at Bama, go to a school where the fees are more affordable. You will still have a college degree in the end- and that's what attending college is ultimately about. We have to make monetary decisions all the time as adults. I might really want a BMW, but my budget is telling me I can only afford a Kia, or a Chevrolet, or a Ford. I'm still getting around to the places I need to go.

True! Our oldest got accepted at UGa and wanted to go there but if they were giving out any money, we don't know who got it; she and the other kids in the Top 20 of her class were only given the Hope Grant! (And the guy who was #5 had a dad who worked there.) Then Georgia Southern offered her a free ride plus and her decision was made.
She has had a fabulous career and made lifelong friends there.

I'm with Sheila that sororities are expensive at UA is kind of like saying water is wet. Look at the houses! Granted, it's not super expensive to live in them, but you can still just tell this is an overall affluent system. I grew up in a low income family- there are things you can and cannot afford. You deal with it. If you're smart enough to go to college, be smart enough to make a budget so you can attend a school where you can enjoy activities and afford to live at the same time. The women at my school had a good (albeit not anywhere near SEC, but good in other ways) sorority experience. Sometimes in life you have to take what's available to you and just make the best of it. We can't all live in gorgeous mansions!

It gives the women who are not freshmen a chance to be considered without losing a freshman spot. In the bad ol' days, often anyone other than freshmen would be cut because pledging them would mean losing possible years of membership. Now, with a separate quota, they can be considered on their own merits, and it opens up spots specifically for them. Chapters aren't forced to take anyone, but now they can without jeopardizing losing a freshman.

Any word on the size of the pledge classes for each chapter? I'm not finding much at all.

Apparently, Delta Zeta, Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, and Sigma Kappa are all eligible for COB (in addition to SDT, which does not participate in FR). Interestingly, the website makes a point of noting that not all eligible chapters may choose to participate in COB. http://www.uapanhellenic.com/continuous-open-bidding
