Not exactly the Nebraska information you are looking for but still interesting. 801 women registered for recruitment and 512 joined the Greek system. All chapters except for one made quota. The way the article is worded makes it sound like quota is still the number new members a chapter needs to make total. Quota Additions are allowed to push a chapter over total.

Nebraska, like Indiana and Tufts, is a recruitment special snowflake. 512 out of 801 is roughly 64%, which isn't great. Nebraska doesn't use RFM and each sorority develops its own quota, which is not based on the number of PNMs in the pool.

Kappa Delta at the University of Idaho - 34

Nebraska does use RFM as far as party invites are concerned and ifa you make it to Pref Day and maximize your options, you will receive a bid to one of the chapters you preffed.

Interesting. How can it be utilizing RFM, when Panhellenic doesn't set quota, but the individual chapters do?

They could still be using the RFM formula, but just plugging in their quota number rather than the "working quota" number.

I would think it is similar to how IU uses RFM. Each chapter submits their "quota" to the greek life office. The greek life office then uses that number to determine how many invites the chapter needs to have for each round.

So at IU, one chapter might have a quota of 50 and is told to invite 800 women to a round, while another chapter with a quota of 35 might me told to invite 500 to the same round- even though both chapters have similar return rates.

I hope I am explaining it right- I understand it, but trying to explain it is a different matter!

While I was in college in the 2000s, Greek Affairs adjusted total each year during recruitment and then Greek Affairs determined what each chapter's quota would be based on how many new members it would take a chapter to reach total. Every effort was made to place all PNMs who made it to Pref and 'played fair'. How they did this, I have no idea. Bid matching was still done by hand at that time, so that probably helped them out.

I do not know exactly how quota is determined anymore. Nebraska did switch to a no frills rush in the last few years which made some really big changes. Maybe they changed quota to work like pretty much every other campus. The 2 pledges classes reported in here are very similar in size which would support that idea.
