Thumbs up Npc Green Book New New New

As Chapter Advisor, I got a brand new copy directly from my IHQ Although the enclosed bill was for $40.84, that's still cheaper than the NPC website price of $45.00

Guess I'm expected to take it out of the shrink wrap and read it, ugh? Glad to know there's sisters I can call to explain what I don't understand!!

Ok here is what helped me understand Quota Range. If anyone thinks this is inaccurate, let me know- I hate to pass on misinformation, but this is the way that it was explained to me.

Quota Range is only used BEFORE and DURING Bid Matching. You use the statistical history of your campus to determine the weighted average of signed bid cards over the last 3 years. Then you calculate Quota Range with a positive or negative 8%. 8% is just some math number they made up, but it works.

So if the weighted avg. is 40, you've got a range of 37-43.

Here is where I was confused. I thought that then ABC sorority could match to quota with 37, and XYZ could match to quota with 42. This is not the case.

The Panhellenic bid matchers (hopefully using the computer system, although I'm sure it's doable by hand) would do bid matching SEVEN TIMES, once with quota as 37, once with quota as 38, once with quota as 39, etc. all the way to 43. Then they look at all seven lists to see which quota matched the most girls and was the best for all the chapters. That BECOMES your quota. So if 40 is statistically best after running all of the quotas in the range, quota WILL BE 40 on Bid Day.

Does that help?

PS. I love my new NPC Manual of Information

I actually am a Recruitment Advisor (I actually love it though).

CarolinaCutie did a great job of explaining quota range. That is exactly how I understand it as well. Unfortunately my school will be one of those that will move to this system at the last possible minute- Fall of 2006.

Here's the "Official" Explanation

My two cents: Quota Range is wonderful, even if it's confusing at first. This is what is sent to chapter advisors of campuses moving to QR by the NPC team:

Dear Recruitment Advisors,

The implementation of the NPC Release Figure Method
involves the use of a process called Quota-Range.
With this process, we provide an estimate of Quota,
but we do not commit to an exact number for Quota
until we conduct bid matching on the computer. Quota
may end up being higher or lower, depending upon a
number of factors, including the prospective new
member retention rate from preference until bid
matching. Whatever it's set at, though, it will be
the same for all chapters.

All numbers in the Quota Range are run through the bid
matching program to determine which level for Quota is
in the best interests of the system. We attempt to
balance the goal of achieving parity among the
chapters with the goal of maximizing the placement of
as many prospective new members as possible. We avoid
setting Quota too high in order to keep chapter new
member class sizes in balance. We avoid setting Quota
too low in order to avoid leaving too many women
completing the formal recruitment process in good
faith without bids.

At present, this year's Quota Estimate for [campus] is __, and Quota Range is [low end] to [high end]. These numbers assume that the withdrawals immediately before and after Preference are consistent with historical
withdrawal rates; if withdrawals are heavier than in
previous years, these numbers may shift down, in which
case Panhellenic would notify you before your lists
needed to be input.

If the numbers remain as stated above, you would need
to place [low end number] names on your first bid list (i.e., the lowest number in the Quota Range), arranged in
whatever manner you choose. You would then place the
remaining women attending your preferential events on
your second bid list, in preferential order.

This should essentially end quota additions right?

Not end, but significantly reduce, especially when QR is used in conjunction with the new release figures method.

A snap bid is completely different than a quota addition.
