Chi Omega – 19 (not positive)
Delta Delta Delta - 18
Delta Gamma - 25
Delta Zeta - 24
Kappa Alpha Theta – 22 (they are at Total)
Kappa Delta – 21 (they are at Total)
Kappa Kappa Gamma - 26
Pi Beta Phi - 26

Do you know if the the other chapters are at total? Or just Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Delta?

And since a chapter may not go over 100, it seems like it might be normal for chapters to be just under total. Is that the case here with just two chapters possibly at total?

Ahhhhh Ohio State... anyone who knows anything about this campus knows it has been quite the interesting case for the last few years. OSU has had a "hard" quota and "hard" total since 2001 I think (give or take a year or 2). Quota was ALWAYS 25, no matter how many women signed Preference cards and total was ALWAYS 100. So if a chapter went into recruitment with 80 women, they could only take 20 - not 25.

This year, however, the Panhellenic Council voted 2 days before recruitment stated to move to the "true" quota/total system - YAYYYY!! The campus used this method during recruitment and quota ended up being 22. Total is still at 100, and yes, at the end of recruitment only 2 chapters were at total. Most others were in the 90s, and the smallest chapter sitting at 60. I hope all chapters continue to COB to total either this quarter or the spring quarter since many are so close!!

Side note - since the campus is now using "true" quota/total, groups will be able to go over total (100) during formal recruitment next year!

Wow! I missed that memo. The Panhellenic Bylaws actually don't state the hard numbers. They have a formula (I think I copied it somewhere on this thread) that bases the quota on past few years of performance. Considering few chapters made quota last year and one of the top chapters had to snap bid half of the pledge class, it wouldn't surprise me that they finally changed it.

This is a shame. With nearly 60,000 students you would think they could fill 14 chapters of 100. In my years there, nearly all 18 chapters reached a total of 105. My pledge class had 36.

I just hope that with allowing the larger houses to go over quota it doesn't push the smaller ones out.

Depauw's bid day was yesterday. Typically they post the names a few days later in The Depauw, but that website has not been updated since December 9.

I was reading something yesterday that they school is "down to" 68% Greek.

The DePauw's website hasn't updated in awhile because they haven't released a paper in awhile. They should have the numbers on the website tomorrow-ish, when the first new issue comes out.

From what I have heard, every sorority hit capacity except for Delta Gamma who apparently missed by 3.

It's kind of amazing they are holding at 68% with the press in the last few years.

Winthrop University Formal Recruitment Results: Jan 30- Feb 1

Quota:12

Alpha Delta Pi: 12
Chi Omega: 12
Delta Zeta: 5
Tri-Sigma: 12 + 1 QA
Zeta Tau Alpha: 12 + 1 QA

All women who signed a bid card were offered a bid. I do not know if any were not accepted, but I know that all of the ADPi ones were.

Although there were less women participating in the process due to a change to deferred recruitment and the economy, I feel it was a good weekend for all PNMs!
