AZTheta, I completely agree.

I'm guessing that if the different quotas of the different groups really were easily obtainable and for public consumption, they would be all over grreek rrank and that sorority parents thread during recruitment.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (specifically calling on AZ-Alpha Xi here) but that sort of information (at ARIZONA) is not shared publicly.

ETA: maybe I'm wrong, that's okay - I'm still uncomfortable.

I did read all her posts from when her daughter went through and accepted a bid from an unhoused chapter. I hope that the mother's blabbermouth won't harm the daughter, because that just isn't fair to the daughter IMO. The mother needs to step away from the keyboard when it comes to Indiana recruitment.

One more thing - my autocorrect keeps fighting me on "emtpy" and I can't even pronounce it.
You are correct, AZTheta, Arizona statistics are given out on a need to know basis.

I am curious to see how some chapters will react to the minimum, especially the chapters that have historically taken smaller new member classes

Since each chapter sets their own quota at IU, I think they are saying it can't be below 50. ..if I am understanding the post correctly. Which I think is fine as it will force some upward and help ease them into full RFM whenever that comes about.

^^^yes this. The light bulb just switched on in my head. They have to set quota at 50 minimum, but as with any other school, they don't HAVE to take quota. however, as with any other school, they're going to have to explain to their nationals why they didn't. The only difference here is that quota can be set in advance instead of relying solely on the number of PNMs.

^^^ got it. Thank you Titchou and 33girl.

I like what ComradesTrue wrote, above and I see that as how this change is going to happen. Gradually. Over time.

Can we please use the correct terminology of "PNMs" instead of (uggggh) "recruits"? It's not the military or a cult.
