You have no way of knowing what house has what quota, and how many bids they are giving out. In the fall, each house gets assigned the same number of girls, in the Spring, the number of bids distributed varies on a lot. Each house has a different quota, so just because a house gives out more bids during Spring, or COB, doesn't necessarily mean its a "lower house" (SK is a good example) However, fact is"top" houses do fill up their quota much faster. This is why they traditionally don't do Spring Recruitment. Things that effect the number of bids: how many girls DA in the the fall, how many Fall grads, how many girls were initiated of the original that got a bid in the fall (some girls quit), if any girls are kicked out (rare), if any girls transfer/take a semester off/go abroad. Houses know have a rough estimate after Fall initiation how many spaces they have left in order to meet quota. They will then determine there if they need to do Spring Recruitment. If they're above, at, or slightly (1-3) below quota, they won't do Spring recruitment: Its expensive, time consuming, stressful and unnecessary. If the number is small, (between 3-7) then usually a house will do invite only, or COB dinner events. Again, this is cheaper, and more intimate, They don't need to do a lot of publicity, girls will come on their own. If the number is large (8+) they will do a full fledged open recruitment. This is just general guidelines: DG did open recruitment last spring, but gave out around 6
