question about quota
by: DDEveryone is saying Kappa has to take more girls than PM, KD, XO and DDD because they couldn’t fill their class last year. Is this true? Do they get more spots?

Quota is different for each chapter, there is no defined limit across all the sororities. How many returning members plays a big part in how many bids they can give out to reach the accepted overall chapter size. If a chapter has high retention and members stay active with the chapter throughout their time at Bama, they may have less slots available for PNMs as opposed to a sorority that experiences high burn out of the older members who go inactive or graduate early.

This is 100% incorrect. Quota is the same for all houses, it is based on the number of PNMs attending pref divided by number of sororities. Houses may end up with quota additions which are for the benefit of the PNM, not the house. Retention has nothing to do with quota.
It is not a coincidence that houses with bad retention tend to have quota additions, because those houses are usually also weak recruiting houses and need to invite back more PNMs to make quota. I understand this is a very confusing concept but there’s no use in spreading misinformation.

Ok, Quota or Quota “Additions” the relevant point for the OP and for pnms is how many girls are they going to extend bids too at the end of recruitment. Quota, plus Quota additions adds to bid total that is higher for houses that are at less than chapter total. Attrition by any means contributes to a house being below total.
That is all.

Quota additions are driven by size of house and retention rates. Grade reports will tell you who may tske quota additions. For example, Theta has taken quota additions for several years (certainly having an old house might have push them to cut gently) but given their larger size and ok retention rate according to last years report, their need for additions looks to be down. That was a positive example, but the report clearly shows some less positive situations, indicating who will go lighter on the cuts this year.

So go look at the grade reports that show chapter totals. Those below the norm will take bigger pledge classes this year
