And so on thru the list of PNMs. And that is done till a group closes out and then they go with the PNMs second choice, and it starts over for them. The women left once all t he groups close out are then eligible for quota additions as long as they maximized their options. Then they are added as above. It's sooooooo much faster by computer! Take my word as one who did it by hand for many years!

So if you have a last name starting with a "T," that might affect getting a bid?

No, not at all. If you are on the first list, you are on the first list.

Only if you aren't on their first bid list. And with RFM, first list equals whatever number quota is. So if quota is 50 and you are in the first 50 on their list, you will match. It's after that where it gets a little problematic.
But whether by hand or computer, the match is PNM to chapter, not the other way around.

No. The second bid list is arranged in order of preference. If Suzy Allen is #10 and Jennifer Zizo is #9 on the second list for XYZ and they have one spot left, if both girls put them first, Jennifer gets the spot. Suzy's name may come up first, but she will be displaced as soon as Jennifer's card is pulled and Suzy will be bumped to her second choice group.

Yes, you can always COR to total.

Under the old system there was a 5% of quota per chapter limit on QAs. (If quota was 20 then a chapter could only take 1 QA) With RFM, all PNMs can be placed without regard to a
percentage of quota.

Note.....every chapter made quota or above at Auburn!!!!

Congratulations!

Adding up the list of numbers comes to 1123. Is this an Auburn record for placement?

The last number I saw on here was 1311 signed up. If that was the final number, that placement rate is phenomenal!

eta/my understanding is the 3rd year is the make or break year on a colony, so it looks like Theta is in great shape! And I'm interested to hear if there's room for expansion too. It sounds like Auburn is a very welcoming campus that is open to change within their Greek system.

That's sort of what I've gathered from my first year on a colonization team. I'm glad to see they're doing so well!
