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.

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.

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.

NPC DOES NOT require girls to be placed in one of their pref houses. Girls that go to top house prefs are often cross cut and receive no house so lower houses often snap bid these girls to reach quota. OU is different in that their school's Panhellenic ( not to be confused with the colligiate pan reps) has decided to avoid the crosscut by placing girls in one of their pref night houses. However you forget that top sororities are having to cut more girls each night based on the return rates( PNMs wanting to return to those houses). Stronger recruiting houses are able to invite back fewer girls because they have no trouble reaching quota, if a girl is not at a top house she can not be a quota addition if a house reaches quota they can not snap bid girls that are cross cut or drop out. The numbers are in place to help houses who are not as desired keep their numbers up and as close to house total as possible. Houses that reach a 10% quota addition need help keeping their numbers up. Houses who reach quota and have had to invite fewer girls to their parties and have less parties do not need help. Panhellenic lowers top house returns and parties to help those houses that are lower. Often pref night girls aren't going to any of the houses they wanted but are the houses that have not released them. In the original numbers houses adding quota additions at almost 10% did not recruit as we'll not were they at house total before recruitment. Those houses were AXO, APhi and GPB at OU.

KKG DDD KAT were involved in girls that otherwise would have been crosscuts at other schools and since you bring up ChiO and PiPhi know these girls were forced to make huge cuts and had less parties on skit night because they had high return rates neither house would have been allowed to snap bid. Stop saying things you are making up and not understanding. Chi P and Pi phi had great recruitments along with theta kappa and DDD. Don't believe me ask the national Panhellenic delegate of your sorority she is aware of the recruitment numbers at OU and will verify these facts, you're right to assume I know numbers of other university recruitments because I do.

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.

Original comment is correct. One of those houses barely made quota and the other had to snap bid. That's not good. If you're going to criticize houses, start with those or the house that didn't make quota.

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.

No you just got it wrong but keep trying ONE of the houses you are talking about had the best return rates of all the sororities at OU-- no snap biding involved and could have taken lots more girls but wasn't allowed to so that GPhi, APhi AXO DG and the other lower houses could get girls. You teally need to become more informed

I know a girl that got a snap bid from Pi Phi. They called her after she was already at home. I don't know about all the other stuff you all are talking about but I do know that.

Notice what you're saying? A girl dropped from recruitment because the houses she had left were not the top 5, but she had GPB and still would rather drop than be one. So PNMs take note sometimes you don't have to settle for low houses. They take the top scraps from their quota girls to their many additions. This discussion has to be an embarrassment to them and AXO

GPB is a great house and girls who have that house are very happy. If you're not happy with your house, I'm sorry, but please leave our other houses alone.

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!

You poor little thing. Why would you make up all that stuff when EVERYONE knows that you're just writing fiction. GPB isn't the subject of this thread, but if you read other threads you know that last year GPB was in the top 3 in grades both semesters, USing, HOCO,and won special recognition in President's Trophy for campus involvement. As you can read above, taking quota additions is not big deal and you're talking about a difference of maybe 4 girls in number. So, stop the catty remarks. You're making OU look bad with your constant carping.

They were shut out of scandals and have NEvER won any of those categories. Their entire fall pledge class was cut by the top 6 houses. GPB had quota additions because they can't keep enough girls in their chapter to stay at house totall and those girls were trying to avoid the bottom 2 houses everyone else had cut them.They have to spring recruit every year. Their using partner this yr asked another house first and got stuck with them. They are the only sorority that reported a new member GPA last spring and it was a 2.95 so what exactly is made up??? All of that can be looked up and verified. GPB is a house girls settle for but it's not a house anyone hopes to become a member of. But keep trying your twisting the truth is great fiction to read and quite entertaining!
