I heard that quota was 63, and Alpha Phi took 65 new members!

As I understand it, Theta ultimately did get to quota through snap bids, but as TSteven said above, it was a little shocking.

This really isn't that uncommon. Sometimes it happens that more "selective" groups get too selective before pref. Theta is still one of UK's strongest groups.

Exactly. They cut above the percentage recommended by the RFM and end up missing it by a few. No biggie.

I know what snap bids are, but do these girls get their bids with the others on bid day, or are they extended later? Had these girls not been on the bid list originally? I would feel like I wasn't really wanted by the house if I knew I was offered a bid just to get to quota. Even if it was from a top house on campus.

It's often not a case of "being offered a bid just to get to quota." It's more likely girls who the sorority liked and wanted but had to cut because of RFM. If they just wanted something with an ovary, they could pick random girls off the street.

You can either obsess about not being the first person on the bid list or you can go to bid day and have fun. AFAIK snap bids do go out in time to do all the bid day stuff, etc.

Are you kidding? Elite chapters only accept people with two ovaries.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
