by: @moveonSpring recruitment does not occur like YOU keep trying to spin it. The only houses on a campus and let me be clear ON ANY CAMPUS that can spring recruit is houses not at house total. A campus can raise house total OR all the houses on a campus can be under house total but otherwise no houses on campus at house total may participate. This is decided by National Panhellenic that actually has a representative from each of the 26 Panhellenic sororities. It is the governing body of the entire Panhellenic. They govern every campus in the US. Once a house total is set on a campus any house not at house total can spring recruit. The national sorority then has their individual sorority spring recruit. The national sorority will have the houses not at the campus house total spring recruit for ONE reason. The reason is the individual sorority's national office doesn't want their campus chapter's numbers to drop dangerously lower than the member numbers of the houses at total on the campus because the lower their sorority numbers drop the harder it is to build them back up because a house at total can go over house total only during formal recruitment because the houses at total are allowed to take quota every year. Houses that recruit well AKA the " top houses" therefore remain above total. They seem to keep getting larger and larger so the houses below total are given the opportunity to increase their numbers during the spring to keep their numbers in hopefully a competitive range.

Everyone knows that...the stupidity of this discussion is that is being used to talk down to others. If you have no intention of spring recruiting this year than move on. It does not pertain to you. That's what I don't get. Why do you care if others chapters at OU are trying to better themselves. If you are not threatened than shut up and move on.

No top houses are the houses that most girls want during recruitment. So many girls want to be invited back to the top houses they are actually required to cut more girls than other houses and usually by the third night are required to host less parties because their return rates are so high. They're membership numbers go over house total during fall recruitment and has a snowball effect with each subsequent year. Top houses are the houses that are the most desired by the PNMs and therefore become the hardest houses to get into and it's quite competitive to get in them. That said yes they are extremely well rounded because they have their pick of girls.

All houses that meet quota every year have the same numbers unless one of two things happen. One is that they lose girls because they don't like the house. The other is that girls study abroad, graduate early, leave to go to the ouhsc, etc.
Some houses are required by their nationals to recruit whenever allowed if they fall below total for either reason. Some are not.
All the houses except AGD made quota. So if the other houses recruit it's because they have too many girls who hate their house and drop out and so they need more or because they have successful girls who don't stay all four years and whose nationals require them to be replaced.
Right now, no one knows which houses will spring recruit and why. The top 8 houses usually don't have girls that just drop out.
All the top houses spring recruited last year because of raising house total.
It seems ridiculous that anyone would spend this much time pretending that not spring recruiting means you're a top house. It might. It might not.
It's just more complicated that the Chi Os would like for people to believe. There are many other ways to see if a house is top. Chi O fails all those other ways so they are pretending that this is a sure thing. It's sad but it's all they have......

You are incorrect the top houses above total can take quota and it can increase their numbers even higher above house total. Then it's rinse, lather, repeat so spring recruitment helps the lower houses without strong numbers to bring their numbers up so they don't become dangerously low while holds the houses above total to their current number.

Honey, the houses that are above total may be above total for several reasons. Maybe they are so popular they take quota additions. Maybe they are so stupid that they have a bunch of 5th year seniors. Maybe they had a lot of girls who transferred and affiliated. Maybe they just don't have any outstanding girls and all the dullards have to hang out here for all four years. The ONLY REASON spring recruiting makes a difference is if a lot of girls hate your house and drop out. OTHERWISE spring recruiting is neutral.

If someone says there are houses not recruiting it's because they have well above house total because they are perceived as top houses during recruitment and every year when they take quota their numbers continue to rise higher above house total. if everybody knows it as you say they do, then it's not new news. Telling people on anonymous sites that it's for all the other made up reasons you have posted is in fact lying to PNMs. The truth is the truth. I know Theta Kappa ChiO DDD and PBP aren't recruiting on the OU campus they are above house total. If everybody knows it's houses beneath house total because they are unable to rise above house total by meeting quota or worse yet taking quota additions and still not being significantly above house total then the honest posts about spring recruitment shouldn't bother you at all.
