Imagine a scenario where a campus has all 26 NPC sororities and still can't/won't achieve a high(er) placement rate.

Good call -- OSU and Miami are more like IU.

It's deferred, but I don't believe Miami OH functions without RFM/quota.

IU is the only school in the country that operates with no campus total for chapters and where quota is set by each chapter not by the number of PNMs attending preference/signing MRABAs. Although I hear rumblings that some changes may be in the works for the following year.

No, they aren't. Both OSU and U of Miami (OH) have campus totals. If you don't have a good working knowledge of how IU recruitment operates, you cannot compare it to other schools.
Sorry for the double post, folks. I just saw the quoted comment and couldn't let it go.

^^^Which means that folks who aren't Greek and don't actually know what they're talking about should think before they post!

Do each of the chapters "turn in" an official quota number to the CPC prior to, or sometime during, recruitment?

Yes, there is a date by which all chapters must turn in their individual chapter quota to Panhellenic. It is usually in the late fall.

Look back at post #42. I asked:
Quote:
Are there any other big deferred recruitments at schools that are NOT academic elites? Maybe SMU or Maryland, but they are still a lot more selective than IU.
|
Others pointed out that OSU and Miami fall into this category of big deferred recruitments at non-elite schools, which makes them like IU in the limited sense that I explicitly asked about. My post #47 was agreeing with the suggestion that OSU and Miami share those qualities with IU. I didn't say they were like IU in every way.

Maybe folks who haven't read the previous page of the thread should look at the context of a statement before jumping to conclusions.

Well, since I graduated not once but twice from a non-elite school in the Big Ten that explains why I can't be bothered to read a post from the previous page.
On another note, why does everyone have the impression that IU is so freakin' easy to get into? As someone who helps students apply for colleges, it is in the top half of the Big Ten as far as admissions standards. There are quite a few schools in the Big Ten which are much easier to get into than IU and don't have some of the top business and music schools in the country. And the Big Ten is known as an academic conference. So being in the top half of it, sounds pretty good.

To clarify, tOSU used to have an oddball system but in no way was it ever like IU nor did it ever have a bed total. No matter how many girls went through, total would be 100 and quota would be 25.
About 5 years ago, things changed and they are using RFM. Each semester, PHA sets a total and any chapter below total can COR. After Formal last spring, total was 157 (quota was in the mid 50s). I think fall total was 132 and only a handful of chapters participated in COR. Gamma Phi, who colonized last year, took total + 14 seniors. PHA allowed them to take the extra 14 since they wouldn't have
received bids.
Right now, about 1500 girls have signed up and it's very possible that total will be 180-185 after recruitment.
BTW...thank you for the insult Low D Flat.

No "maybe" here: you really need to stay out of Indiana recruitment threads. You are not helpful. Please restrain yourself and post on something where you can share your brilliancy with the rest of us dullards.
Remember, you can be right - or you can be happy. Your persistence is not to your advantage. In other words, cut your losses.

Please do tell what you consider an "elite" school Low D. Also please tell me everything there is to know about Big Ten recruitments..I must have missed your affiliation to Greek Life and the Big Ten for you to be so knowledgeable about the subject!

Wait, Low D is an expert on the SEC and even schools in Connecticut from what I recall. The Big Ten too? Damn!
