As in, it's been removed from the Green Book altogether? That seems like a bad idea.

That's why you've seen huge numbers of QAs over the past year.

Oh, alright. I assumed that campuses were just ignoring it or guaranteeing bids or whatever, but your explanation makes more sense. That's really too bad; it's so hard to come back from being a smaller chapter.

I know what you mean. I think the rationale is to maximize placement. There's no free lunch, unfortunately. Placing more PNMs does not always benefit the smaller chapters. It can, but not always.

To sum it all up (LOL) I thought the same thing that AOIIAngel did - that QAs are based on PNM preference and that it benefits the PNMs first, chapter second. If you really could QA dump people into the smallest chapter, there wouldn't be a smallest chapter.

It's been a couple years since I've involved with bid matching, but if a large GLO wanted more than 5% of the QAa, the smaller GLOs had to okay it as "for the good of the system. Even then, a case had to be made.

A chapter that I advised was in at a commuter school and they tried QA one year, what happened what the PNMs just dropped the smallest chapter and didn't go to pref so they couldn't get placed there and waited for the "better" chapters to do COB and pick them up. The Greek system there was a little wacky because the Greek Adviser had never been Greek and was anti-Greek so she just did what the majority wanted to do whether it was right or not. So glad, I am not involved anymore there.

If the "better" chapters are always COBing, chapter total is set too high.

Yes, the chapter total was set way too high, but the non-Greek Greek advisor didn't understand the concept. It was very frustrating. There were many times when I or the advisors of the other "big" chapter had to bring our green books in and show the Greek advisor what was legal. There were only three chapters on campus and three is a very frustrating number. Things did get better when the non-Greek Greek advisor left and a true Greek advisor took the position.

I don't think this was ever updated (seeing as the last post is from January 2011), but SC2013 is now one of my best friends and a member of my chapter! We all adore her to pieces

No, not Joan. I will let the ladies from that chapter claim her. One chapter did informal recruitment.
Congratulations!

I hope I'm not stepping on her territory by revealing this, but she told me she hasn't been on here in ages, so I think it's fine. MelindaWarren and I are proud to call her a sister of Sigma Delta Tau!
