UGA Quota Just Raised!!

[AZTheta]

Question for those who understand this "stuff":

OK, total has been raised. Do all chapters now "have to" raise their membership to total? Is that something that is at the discretion of each chapter's organizational policy? Is there a time frame to "get to total?"

Sorry in advance if I'm not understanding or if this was already answered. I don't know why this is not processing in my brain.

That would be up to each organization. They may wait to next semester to get to total to take a new class since this class is so big. I guess it all depends on how far under total each chapter is and what the likelihood one informal recruitment cycle would bring them up to total.

Thanks for the official info!

Most NPC groups have in their recruitment guidelines that they are supposed to try to achieve and maintain total. Some are more strict with this than others. It may be at the discretion of each chapter and the timeline might be at the discretion of each chapter.

For example, a chapter might not hold COB events if they will only be 1 or 2 members below total rather than have new member events for a pledge class of two, or a chapter might get an exception to remain below total if the house holds 58 and total will be 60. The decision to raise total is often done right after formal recruitment so they have the option to add those COB women to the existing pledge class, but some might choose to wait until Spring.

An article from UGA's Red and Black newspaper. 5 sororities are holding COB events this semester. The article mentions Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Gamma, and Gamma Phi Beta. The other two chapters were not named before the article's deadline.
