Re: bed quota

Poster Message:
To those questioning the competitive nature of IU recruitment: You keep saying that IU can't have THAT many pnms participating if new member classes are 50-55 in size. You are wrongfully assuming that (like SEC schools) IU figures quota based on total pnms attending pref divided by number of sororities. IU does not work this way. Traditionally each sorority determined their own quota by the number of spots/beds in the physical house, hence "bed quota". For a long time, most houses even required every member to live in. This is slowly changing, and some upperclassmen may now live out. This year, for the first time ever, Panhellenic is requiring each house to take at least 50. HOWEVER, 50 x total number houses still = significantly less than total pnms attending pref night. Unlike even SEC schools, there will be ALOT of pnms this year who attend 3 pref events, list all 3 on pref card and still wind up bid less. Hope this helps answer your questions.
