Legacies & quota....

[MSKKG]

We all know there are some chapters that have more legacies going through recruitment than quota. Can you imagine being able to have a new member class over TWICE what quota is if all legacies were pledged because of this rule?!? Ludicrous!!!

At some universities, juniors and seniors are not included in quota, so it's feasible that a GLO could make quota plus however many juniors and/or seniors are pledged. I like this because, from what I've been reading on GC, they seem to be at a disadvantage during recruitment. I've never understood that because sisterhood is for a lifetime--those members are a lot of the time the most active and generous alums.

From your example, ABC is now at 71, HIJ is at 75, and XYZ is at 73. Is ABC able to COB up to 25? For that matter, should XYZ be allowed to pledge 2 more to get up to 75 like HIJ? Only 72 women pledged, so there are 8 women unaccounted for. Although total was 50, 47 is not that much of a difference where Panhellenic would be worried about helping a chapter in need, and XYZ wouldn't be worried about the chapter folding! Also from your example, XYZ pledged more new members than ABC who had a larger chapter before recruitment.

The numbers part of recruitment makes my head spin, so I guess I don't have an answer for this one. Wouldn't it be great if there were uniform recruitment rules for all NPC groups? BIG pipe dream!
