smallest number that actually joined. they gave out more bids. DG did not make the original quota before people accepted (or did not accept) their bids on bid night. not enough girls wanted them compared to the other top sororities

The university sets different quotas for different chapters depending on how successful they already are on campus in an attempt to "level the playing field" so DG and XO set lower as they have really large chapters with good attrition rates and also transfers (both are very strong nationally so you will find chapters on almost more college campuses - kind of like Kappa, Pi phi) in whereas a new colony like SK will be allowed a much higher number. Basically admin in student life at AU deliberately handicaps the hugely successful chapters. Other instances include room allocation during rush- allocating the better rooms to chapters that are struggling and the harder rooms to solid chapters.

Yeah not accurate at all. Rooms are given out based on chapter size and quota is a range given to all chapters on campus.

sk has about 50 girls because they are a new colony. also bad behavior gets chapters relegated to less desirable rooms.

Actually, the original explanation is 100% correct. I am an older alum, and National Panhellenic has changed the way quota works. Of course, each school's Panhellenic Council has to agree to the change, but this new formula was established about five years ago.
The old formula was # of girls in recruitment, divided by number of sororities= quota. NOW, in a move to make all sororities have a fair chance and equal numbers of members, there are different quotas set for each group. A very strong chapter might end up with a lower quota, and a weak or newly colonized chapter will have a higher quota.
