But Yet Soroitys have controll of who is so on campus! By that I mean, well so and so did not reach fullfilment for recruitment! Well we cannot allow anyone else on as the Soroitys did not reach Status!

My School has not reached rush expectations so no one else can Charter there!

It is BS as Maybe I do not like the 3 Soroitys on campus and want to become a member of another! No You Cannot!

It is self importance and egotisim!

Is that Democracy NOPE!???!!!!!

It is BS, get over your requring quotas, and Recruit for what you mean and stand for! You are holding the Greek System Back to the Middle Ages!

You Stand and Mean for what You are! Live or die with it!

From a women who has seen a campus give out bids just like the fraternities and then changed to NPC "bid matching" and quota system, Tom is right.

The system is not about mutual selection, it is about having total "control" of the process. If NPC women's fraternities really stood for mutual selection, then the alumnae intake process would mirror the collegiate process, but it does NOT.

Now, I do believe there is a place for bid matching, especially when there are hundreds of women participating in rush and being Greek is a positive thing on the campus.

However, I believe the whole "quota" thing should be tossed out the window! If a total size is set and enforced, then there is no need for a quote. Each sorority would only take enough new members each term to off-set the number of graduates from the previous semester.

Then
1. The bigger groups do not get bigger, if a group is at total then that's it -- no more bids for that term! It makes each individual group plan more, but every sorority is on the same footing.
2. Each group can say exactly how many members they will take at recruitment. Then, all PNMs know the true odds of getting into a particular group.
3. Eliminates the whole concept of dirty rushing. Everyone should be able to normally talk to other PNMs at any time about their sorority, it is the natural way to make friends! Our silent periods are probably what bugs fraternity men the most.
4. Eliminates the all the SIP and 1 year bid matching contract rules. A women should not feel forced to join a group.
5. Eliminates the complicated rules like, quota plus, snap bidding -- very few people understand quota, let alone anything else.
6. Enables the Panhel as a whole, to realize sooner when a new group needs to be added. So if 6 of 8 groups are always around total, and a group of 20 women want to start a new group, there is no reason not to let them start.
