recruitment '17

I would like to add that sometimes being a legacy is kinda tricky, too. Some chapters drop girls assuming they will go their legacy when the PNM is trying to find her own place, not her moms or her sisters. That happened to a couple of my friends last year (assumption here) because they were cut heavily after philanthropy round except for their legacy chapter and a couple other chapters. And to be honest, I was relieved that my legacy chapter dropped me after philanthropy because I just would not have fit in there (and it's considered a high middle chapter around here). For the most part, the process works!

RFM is a MAJOR improvement over the way recruitment was done years ago. The old way allowed chapters to keep girls all the way up to pref, then drop them. Because the girls had dropped all of the other houses earlier in the week, they had no where to go. With RFM, the playing field has leveled and now all of the sororities at Auburn are great. To be invited to join any of them is an honor.

No, not variable quota, just regular RFM. We added a sorority last year so RFM cuts were a little more deep this year and 3rd round to pref goes from 8 to 2 houses which is a bit steep too but it's not a bad system. I just think it's a lot of moms who are upset. The alums don't understand that this is not the same rush they were used to and a lot of others think that their daughters should get what they want and don't understand the concept that the houses do the choosing not the PNM's.

ADPi is the smallest? Did they have a lot of girls drop through the years or graduate early?
Also, KD had 77 pledges
What were the other numbers - what was quota and were there quota additions with this system?

@Dang is talking about Mississippi State, not Auburn. ADPi there is new so they are smallest and allowed to give more bids because MState uses variable quota. Yes, there are quota additions under that system. If you want to know more go to the MState page. This thread is getting way too long.
