This year's Quota? - Page 2

Barbara,
Thank you so much for that explanation! I was never VP Recruitment or involved in the bid matching process or anything so I wasn't entirely sure how it worked.

So I guess they don't have to wait until all chapters meet quota in order to do quota additions? I can see how that benefits the new members by matching them where they want to be, but it really hurts the smaller chapters, because those women who weren't matched originally are no longer available for snap bidding (not that anyone has accepted a snap bid at my school in at least the past 5 years or so).

I may have more questions later...

Quota Additions really do benefit the smaller chapters, because only the smaller chapters should be allowed to take quota additions if possible. Sometimes it not possible to match girls with the smaller chapters and rather than have a number of girls go bidless, the local Panhellenic will offer quota additions to chapters that have made quota. Remember, the smaller chapter can only take additional members, if that chapter appears on the girl's pref card. They won't match a girl to a chapter blindly.

I heard that Iowa State's quota is 23. Only some houses got 23 plus plus.

At Texas Tech University, quota was 54 + additions

I heard today that quota at Florida State was 59. Phi Mu ended up with 64 girls!!

(sorry had to brag on my chapter) Anyway, I'm sure Barbara can tell us how everyone did since she's in the middle of the action down there...

I was told that the sorority quota was 21 here at the University of Central Oklahoma.

ZTA at FSU has a new member class of 65 and the chapter's return rates were very, very high this year. We also pledged several legacies and a lot of Tallahassee girls this year. Typically local girls go ADPi and I'm sure they still got their fair share of local women!

Congrats to all the new memberst at FSU. When I know more about who took quota, etc. I will post.

I stopped by to see the girls this weekend, and I found out that so far 111 women signed up for recruitment. That means approximate quota is 111/6=18.5 so far. Those 111 women were just ones who were at school early for summer activities over the past couple of weeks. There will also be tables set up in the student center today until (I think) Wednesday at lunch. *Keeping my fingers crossed for a large turnout!*

BTW, I'm going to be the only advisor for my chapter available to go to bid matching on Sunday morning (even though I'm Scholarship/Alumnae Relations Advisor), so I'm glad I asked all of those questions about quota. Thanks Barbara for answering so thoroughly!

Barbara,

Gamma Phi Beta took 68 girls.. I heard Pi Phi made quota (but I do not know how many girls they pledged), Theta took 40 girls... and that Delta Gamma cut really hard during ice waters, which may have hurt them (those were the two shockers I heard)... That is all I heard... and of course, I could be wrong about any of this...

So, please feel free to correct me!!!!

AND of course... congratulations to Zeta!!!!!

At Nebraska, Quota was 43 this year. I know that Tri Delt got 46, AXO got 53 and Theta got 49. I also know that Alpha Phi was the first to fill their New Member Class for like the 5th year in a row, but I'm not sure how many they ended up with.

There were a ton of girls going through this, and surprisingly few guys.

Angels & Arrows -- is that Gamma Phi # of 68 for FSU? If so, then I say Wah-hoo!

ShaedyKD · #27 08-26-2002, 11:50 PM

Quota at USF was 35. 3 sororities got quota, 2 got a little bit under, and KD got quota +1! We love our new members, they rock!

aggieAXO · #28 08-27-2002, 02:46 AM

How did bid night end up? How did all of the houses do? How many girls ended up joining? One of my friends goes to U of A. Anyone know anything about U of A??
