We all joined our organizations because we obviously wanted more than just the educational experience that college has to offer. That's the truth.

To expand this train of thought, many great yet very different schools have fabulous programs in the same major. My D was undeclared yet had her eye somewhat on a particular major. Many, many schools had very strong depts in her particular field of study and were well within her profile based on GPA, standardized test scores, ECs yet she easily limited her school applications to 5 nationally RUs and 2 nationally ranked LACs.


When a student chooses a school, he or she may consider and then prioritize it on reputation of major, prestige of school, cost of school, location, size, gender percentage, ethnicity percentages, and a myriad of other factors. While prestige and tier ranking may be paramount in one student's decision, proximity to home and cost to mom and dad may be more important to a different applicant.

If I decided to transfer to another school with my sorority with the knowledge that they take transfers and that its a mutual decision amongst the chapter wether they decide to take me, but they are over quota, does that mean that I have a slim to none chance of being able to affliate?? Is it bad to be over quota?
Because if I dont have a chance of being able to affliate, my decision to transfer to that school will change.

also, this is not a very big greek school. The chapter has about 72 girls in it.

First of all, quota is the # of PNMs a sorority can take during recruitment. Total is the # of members the sorority is allowed to have.

No one here is able to tell you what your chances are. Instead of asking a bunch of strangers, maybe you should talk to your EC/Judicial Board (whatever you call it).
