Thanks to Tulane working to bring on new sororities, more girls should get bids this year than in the past because a) there are more houses to take them (duh, it's math), and b) because the newest house (ADPi) doesn't have the numbers yet (because the number is based on three years of recruitment, I'm not making a comment on the size of their chapter) to drop a lot of girls. Here's a little insider info on how the process works: Bids are assigned during rush based on this complicated algorithm - all Panhellenic sororities across the country use it. The number of girls that each house can drop/cut/release (because they would be "happier elsewhere") depends on their numbers from the three previous recruitments. This happens after each round. For example, because ADPi is new, they don't have the numbers because they haven't yet participated in 3 years of recruitment; so they will be able to cut very few girls (possibly none), until they have the numbers to allow more cuts. Because of ADPi, more girls should get bids this year - but not a ton more. Quota will be set at a number determined by the algorithm that allows all the houses (or most of the houses) to reach quota through formal recruitment so they won't have to give out bids during a post-rush COB (continuous open bidding) period. Quota will probably be around 70-75 this year (but I wish it was smaller because these pledge classes are just too big).
