Quotas and Cuts

by: Honest

With the quotas this year, how many fewer girls are the chapters looking at taking vs previous years? If there’s over 2000 PNMs, how many will have to be cut?

There is no such thing as 'have to be cut' to keep to a predetermined number that chapters will take. That is not anything like the way it works. Recruitment numbers are not about getting rid of PNM's. Quota is not a pre-set number, releases are given to each house each round based on percentages and not hard numbers, and everything depends entirely on how many pnm's continue the process from round to round. Stronger recruiting chapters must release more PNM's but it is proportional to the number of PNM's participating. The more pnm's who stay in the process means the more will be invited back and the more bids there will be. Quota is higher when there are more PNM's, it's that simple. Any PNM who ranks both her pref houses is guaranteed a bid to one of them. A PNM who is only invited to one pref is guaranteed that bid if she wants it. The vast majority who don't get bids drop out of their own choice.

II. The College Panhellenic Council at the University of Mississippi will utilize variable quota
procedures for the 2023 Primary Panhellenic Recruitment Cycle, as voted and passed on by the chapter delegates of all eleven (11) organizations.

Yes, but variable quota still is meant to place every pnm, just more in certain houses. It's not to cut a certain number totally out of recruitment. The cuts will be determined based on number of pnm sign ups and current sorority house memberships, and they will change based on the number of pnm's that drop out of recruitment. Larger houses will take smaller classes. It is smart to do this now while AXO is new so they can get up to full membership and another sorority or two can also come on.

Variable quota was a disaster at state. Cant believe KD thinks this is a good idea after suffering by making deeper cuts than necessary two years ago. Last year they had to hide as many members as kappa during recruitment.

It was not a disaster at state, it was a huge help for them and they are a much more welcoming and nicer panhellenic community for it. It was not a disaster here either, it's just a shame it was too late to help Theta. The chapters here are too large and so is the amount of back biting, which you have surely just demonstrated.
