not how quota works

Poster Message:
Freshman quota is the total number of freshman PNMs who end up getting bids (so everyone who comes to pref night, minus a few who suicide and it doesn't work out) divided by 12, rounded down. This year quota was 33 and a few chapters got 34. Sophomore quota is the total number of sophomore PNMs who end up getting bids (so everyone who comes to pref night, minus a few who suicide and it doesn't work out) divided by 12, rounded down. This year quota was 4 and a few chapters got 5. Thus, total quota was (33+4=) 37, and maximum any chapter got was (34+5=) 39. Last year, quota was somewhere between 38 and 40. I think 40, but I'm not sure. The ONLY ways your chapter could be under quota, post-recruitment: 1. You had a bunch of girls drop fall quarter and haven't made it up by COB-ing yet. 2. You cut too many girls in early rounds of recruitment, so the system punished you. (This did not happen to any chapter this year, but supposedly happened to A Phi last year, though I can't verify.) 3. Some of the girls in your pledge class dropped (e.g. didn't show up to bid night, dropped after bid night, etc.). If you're under quota now, your national chapter will try to make you COB (chapters have to report campus quota). If you're at/over quota now, you're not allowed to COB.
