I don't see that on KKG instagram. Maybe I missed something.
I see 129 for Chi O on their instagram.
Heard from other moms, but not confirmed: Zeta 154 with 2 no shows - literally did not show up for bid day, never even picked up their envelopes
Tri Delta, 139

According to this mom (whose daughter is a Zeta), they would not have even known if they got bids from Zeta. They did not even come to the union to meet with their groups or come down to the theater. They were called, left messages and told they had bids but as of Saturday at 4:00 had not responded.

Unless that was the only chapter where they preffed, and decided sometime after pref, and before bid day that it wasn’t for them.

Quota at Arkansas ranged from 116 - 166 this year. Each house received a different total. I can confirm that KKG got 116. Arkansas is looking forward to welcoming Delta Gamma to campus! Woo Pig Sooie!

Can someone please explain the quota range? Why was there not just one quota number? How does this fit into the standard RFM?
I kind of understand that it helps balance out chapter totals, but I'm not experienced enough with RFM to understand how varying the quota might effect the carry figures.
I've never heard of this before. Does it work? Is it fair to all chapters?

I can't answer all your questions, but I know Arkansas has been doing this for a few years and from what I've heard, it has greatly increased placement rates and lowered the number of PNM's who drop out (which was a BIG issue- not only dropping out of recruitment, but withdrawing from school completely).
The strong recruiting chapters have lower quotas and therefore release a ton of women early in the week, giving those PNM's more rounds to get to know the houses who are interested in them. The weak recruiting chapters have higher quotas which has helped grow their numbers.
I imagine RFM works the same (marrying return rates with expected quota range), except that houses are working towards different quotas.

My understanding is Arkansas, for a variety of reasons has widely ranging chapter sizes. If they made quota/total to accommodate the high end of the spectrum the smaller chapters would continually be playing catch up when their chapters are already massive.
So they restrict the size of the largest chapters to allow the smaller chapters to balance out a bit. It seems to have worked for them, but it makes keeping track for the numbers geeks (like me) a little frustrating. The short answer is all the chapters at Arkansas are doing just fine and you just have to trust it. LOL.
