Quota 101

Poster Message:
People are confused. First of all, Quota is never decided ahead of time, it is completely based on how many PNM's are left at the end of rush week. More PNM's participating = more bids. Secondly, Variable Quota was a thing here a few years ago but not now. It intentionally restricted stronger recruiting houses to a lower Quota and allowed less strong recruiting houses a larger Quota. This was to help some newer or not as strong chapters to increase their numbers to reach equity in membership, which happened and is not in place anymore. Now, each chapter has the same Quota; however, chapters can still take more than Quota because of Quota Plus. Quota Plus is in place to allow every PNM who attends Pref to get a bid if she doesn't leave a house off her card. Quota Plus happens because some PNM's that are lower on houses' Bid Lists don't get a match before the houses reach Quota, so instead of going all the way to Pref and then not getting a bid (used to happen, very very bad) these PNM's will still get a bid even when it puts a house over Quota. That's why some houses take more than Quota - it's Quota Additions, NOT Variable Quota. Got it?
