quota
Something needs to be clarified about quota-
Quota is set before Prefs. So girls at UF for example find out who they have been invited back to and can choose up to 3. If she doesn't like any of the 3 and drops out, she is still in the number a chapter can take, "quota" and that messes up the whole system.
For example, UF had 16 chapters when I was a Rho Chi. Rush started with about 1300 women. Say that 200 women drop out before round 3- you have 1100 women. But only 900 show up for prefs. The quota number is still set at 1100/16 allowing each chapter to take 68/69 women plus additions. But what about the 200 hundred that dropped out? They don't count and now instead of each chapter getting about 70 for quota, the big chapters get 70, their top bid list, and the rest don't. The fact that everyone doesn't get quota is b/c attrition is not accounted for. This is part of NPC rules- quota is set after Round 3. The 200 less women come out of the numbers of the smaller chapters. It's sad, but true and that's why UF will always have struggling chapters. Now with the new DZ chapter in the mix, versus the AZD chapter that was there a few years ago, 1 of the larger chapters is going to suffer as a result. 1 of the 2 chapters struggling at the bottom, who don't get quota anyway are just now closer to closing than they were 2 years ago.
Sorry this is so long, but a lot of people don't know how quota really works.
