How can large new member classes be unfair to those that join? People in all stages of life have to give up old ideas for new. Change can be good when handled correctly. It isn't that difficult to tell Fall 2017 pnms their chances for living in the house are weaker due to houses having more sorority sisters to interact with and love. Having larger new member classes is simply the fact of Cal sorority life as of Fall 2016 formal recruitment. And there is no guarantee the number of new members will continue to climb. The easiest way to cut the number of pnms going thru formal recruitment is to raise the initial GPA requirement when you sign-up for recruitment. If it's 3.0 now, make it 3.3--3.5 and see the pnm sign-up number reduce really fast (like some on this site seem to desire). Your final paragraph brings to mind the issues Indiana is having in growing their quota number to allow a larger percentage of pnms to join. Maybe your Cal sorority chapter has already contacted your Indiana chapter for ways to continue enhancing your new member numbers without feeling overwhelmed. (and for those reading this yes, some Indiana houses are physically smaller than others therefore some Indiana sororities hate the idea of a required quota number).
