i'm somewhat confused with what quota is though -- they told us the night before bid day that there was a range of 40-48 (so maybe the exact number wasn't set yet?) but i know we got 44 AMAZING girls and i'm so excited!!!! i heard that another top sorority got 40 girls, but i dont know if that is true and if quota was 40 then and we got quota +4? or is it possible that there is a range of "quota" ? (i've never heard

I know at my school if quota were 40 you get end up with 44 through quota additions of juniors, we got 2 free juniors, or seniors which were unlimited freebies. That may explain it...or if your chapter was not at total with the 40 new members the chapter could extend bids up until they are at total. Both are possibilities...either way it is a good thing!

that there was a post in the fall concerning a school that had a different quota for each sorority on campus. does anyone remember?

I have no idea, but would be curious if Indiana University does quota based on space available in the house.

If you look at the last three Formal recruitments (overall)... The new member numbers are all over the board from 30-50 for the 19 NPC houses. Even more interesting (to me), is that the numbers vary from year-to-year individually among the chapters. Ex. one year AOPI had 50+ NM, another 30+, another 40+... the same for Pi Phi, but 30, 50, 40. Unless chapters had a bad rush one year? Not sure if I am making sense... Maybe someone who goes to Indiana could answer.

Basically, it appears the NM classes range between 20-50 with everything in between, with no definitive quota.

That is the way it was explained to me when we built the new house there. Each sorority has it's own quota based on the # of beds in the the house. I am sure there are some other things too. AOIILuv went there. I'll see if she can chime in.

Quota range refers to how quota is set using NPC's new release figure method. Rather than setting quota and sticking to it hard and fast (often at the detriment of many gorups in the system matching quota) a range is set. Then after preference quota is run more than once at all the number sin the range to see which outcome is able to place the most pnm's and the sororities involved achieve the best results.

Does that make sense?

The University of Washington in seattle and washington state university in pullman do their rush in the fall. I think people are talking about a private university that is not associated with the state of washington. SO, no to both PUllmand and seattle.

Okay, that's what I thought. I feel much better now...

Because this always needs to be explained...

GWU= The George Washington University in Washington, DC
UW (AKA) University of Washington is in Washington State (Seattle) (it is ALWAYS University of Washington, NEVER Washington University)
Wazzu (Washington State University) is in Pullman, WA (and is also NEVER referred to as Washington University)

Wash U is Washington University in St. Louis (or Washington University). It is a private university in St. Louis, Missouri that is one of the best schools in the country (according to US World and News Report it's #11)

For a long time my chapter as a Fundraiser sold shirts that said:
Washington University...it's in St. Louis Dammit! Because SO many people get confused...this isn't the first time.

When I went to Wash U, people were always assuming the Univ of Washington and it was rather annoying...........

Gamma Phi did once exist at Wash. U. They closed their chapter in 1989 if I'm not mistaken. AXO also had a chapter, and they closed the following year. Other chapters Wash. U. has had in the past include Phi Mu, ZTA, SDT, and Theta (which was the most recent to close in 2000). Hard to believe that so many NPCs have had charters at Wash. U. I'm sure the Office of Greek Life has a record of who's been on campus and when if you ever wanted to check it out.
