sororities
by: quota additions
There has been quite a bit written by someone on here who doesn't understand about quota additions. This is the truth for OU:
This year quota was 81. Every new member over 81 is a quota addition.
The houses had these numbers of new members: AXO - 87 AGD - 42 AOII - 81 APhi - 88 Chi O - 81 DDD - 84 DG - 84 GPB - 88 Theta - 84 KKG - 84 Pi Phi -81
Quota additions are a good thing. It means a lot of girls preffed that house first. Everyone had quota additions except Pi Phi, Chi O, AOII, and AGD.
Quota additions are given for the purpose of placing everyone who attended at least one pref party. It has nothing to do with house total and placements are done by preference of the PNM.
The rules on quota additions are NPC rules and can easily be verified.
I hope that helps and the criticism of the houses with quota additions stops. If it doesn't, just know that one of the houses without quota additions is responsible.

Actually you are ignorant and uninformed. Houses at house total can not take quota additions. House total is different from quota. The reason houses at house total can not take quota additions is because more desirable houses will continue to grow while less desirable houses will slowly keep losing girls to the better houses. Houses at house total still can take recruitment quota but no additional girls. As a result,strong houses often maintain membership above house total.This is the rule from National Panhellenic because they try to keep greek life strong on the university campuses (it's too the disadvantage of National Panhellnic for lower houses to clos on campuses). Quota addiions are made to place as many girls as possible AND keep houses that don't recruit as well with better membership. AGD did not make quota. AOPI, Pi phi and ChiO were all at house total. AXO,APhi, DDD,DG, KAO, KKG,GPB were not at house total.AXO, APhi, and GPB had the lowest memberships forcing greater quota additions. This is what YOUR " facts" indicate IF you understood what you were actually saying. This is a national Panhellenic rule. Actives, alums etc all know how to read your "facts". So stop twisting YOUR facts around and try knowing what they mean instead.

Additionally, many girls who went to pref at A Phi and Chi O or Alpha Chi and Chi O. They preffed A Phi first and Chi O second or Alpha Chi first and Chi O second. After all those houses were at quota, priority for quota additions went to the house that was ranked higher by the PNM. That's why A Phi and Alpha Chi have more PNMs than Chi O.

The rules are set by NPC doubtful the example of pref happened at PU that way but it still had nothing to do with quota addditions. Houses that have quota additions are NOT at house totals. Example if sorority A is at total and they can only take 81 girls that's all they get period other girls may have preffed them first but the sorority is not allowed to take them. IF one choice of a PNM is available for quota additions they may be added to that house so that the house can come closer to house total. The only thing the original poster proves it that AXO, GPB and APhi were well below house totals. Sounds like their are girls who are jealous. I didn't throw the numbers out but they speak loud and clear for themselves. I'm guessing someone who doesn't care for those a houses or AGD wrote the original post because no one from those houses would want those large addition numbers out there

First, I think your "freudian slip" means you go to Pacific Univ, Penn, Purdue, or some other PU. Second, at OU, you're crazy to think that if a girl maximizes her options and goes to pref at two houses at total, that she will go without a bid. Instead she gets a bid from her first choice as a quota addition. That is the NPC rule. Third, it's a ludicrous statement to say that any houses were "way below house totals." If you look at the quota addition houses, there is only swing of four (88-84). FOUR! --not 20 or 30! Forth, it's false logic to say that because some houses took up to 4 more girls that they're a bad house or jealous. Wherever you go to school, surely you're aware (especially in the more academic houses) that girls graduate early, study abroad, get admitted to the HSC, etc. Those numbers have to be replaced. Perhaps in your house there are a lot of dropouts (which wouldn't be good), but at OU, Theta, Kappa, Tri Delta, and Gamma Phi are all considered top houses and don't have that problem. Fifth, I think you may be confusing snap bids with quota additions. Snap bids are given out if you don't make quota. The only houses that could have given snap bids to try to get to quota were AGD, Chi O, AOII, and Pi Phi. I don't know about the rest, but Pi Phi did not snap bid. OK, now you know. So now stop posting lies on here about quota. You don't know the system at OU. Get on your own board and leave us alone.

Don't assume, it looks bad. Pi Phi and Chi O were not allowed to snap bid. They were allowed very limited numbers back each night this year due to high return rates. Since you do not know the numbers you really should stop making them up. Your examples using APhi, ChiO, and AXO are also incorrect, if you don't have facts you really shouldn't make things up.

The original poster hit a raw nerve with her explanation. As far as I can tell, the OU stalker that is hating on our sororities is writing a bunch of gobbledegook to try to sound like she knows something. The one thing she doesn't even try to explain is why she's so obsessed with 4 girls. It's nothing and easily explained by the early graduation etc. listed above. None of our houses has a big dropout problem, so the quota addition controversy is a tempest in a teapot. Oh, and by the way, 2 of the houses that did not get quota additions did have to snap bid. They keep it quiet, but if you know which girls were cut by that house then ended up in it, you know.

Original poster understands but she's the one always posting and twisting things without learning facts remember:
1. GPB does great in everything? Fact is they never won homecoming, using, or scandals and usually don't make the shows
2. GPB only takes smart girls? Fact was their new member GPA last spring was a 2.95 on the school's grade report
3. Now GPB has a larger pledge class so their great right? Wrong. Fact is they took quota additions because they aren't at house total and all 88 of their pledge class was released by the top 5/6 sororities. They don't get anywhere near the top
Girls they actually take leftovers,and watch they will have to spring recruit because their numbers are still low.
This original poster knows the truth don't waste your breath trying to explain it too her!

LOL at your house examples those houses don't compete with each other but just so u know quota is not the same as house total. If a house is at total they can only take quota except at OU they avoid crosscuting( a thing that might happen if you go to 2 top houses for pref) after pref by giving the girls one of the 2 houses they went too on pref night. Going waaay over like 10% only happens when your house sucks and no one wants you so some poor girls get stuck and those numbers don't tell who drops.
