That.is.not.how.rush.works. !!!!!!!!!! There are not a predetermined number of spots available in each house. The release figures methodology (RFM) used by 99.9% of campuses with Panhellenic sororities - including SMU - works. Quote isn’t set before rush starts, it’s set after Pref. If 650 PNM’s start rush week and all 650 get at least 1 invitation to pref night (and fill out their pref card), the quota is 650/8 = 81. RFM works because it forces the strong recruiting chapters to release PNM’s they aren’t interested in earlier in the week, allowing those PNM’s to get to know other chapters further. If 200+ PNM’s didn’t drop out of SMU rush because PKT cut them, then there would actually be another 200 “spots” because pledge classes would be bigger all around. That’s 60+ more bids to PKT, 30+ more bids to XO & DDD, 15+ more bids to DG, etc. Each “tier” would be bigger and stronger if PNM’s would trust the system. And the weaker recruiting chapters would be a lot stronger too.
