Zeta has a huge class

Zeta had a great recruitment but that picture is their whole house, not just the women who got bids today.

Ehhh I don't think I'd want pledge classes as big as some southern schools. My pledge class is pretty tight knit and I have friends at those schools who feel like there are a lot of strangers in their sorority.

ZTA did break 100 this year. They had a great recruitment

Nah, that’s not exactly how quota additions work. Yes, if a house is below total they can take additions to get them up to total. However, if a PNM maximizes her options and doesn’t match on any pref list before quota is reached, the current system allows additions in favor of the PNM. If you accept every invite permitted on your card from first round of cuts through pref and list every house you attended at pref, you (as a PNM) are guaranteed a bid per NPC formula. Therefore, houses who are at the permitted number CAN take additions if it is the way a PNM matches when everything is run through the system. It is in the NPC rules. One of the houses to which she accepted a pref invite will end up with her if the rules were followed by the chapter and the PNM both.

That being said, a house with fewer invites/higher return rates/larger active numbers most likely does take fewer additions because it’s going to be rare cases when addition match that way.

Quota additions are not just for “weaker chapters.”

It’s that big because they didn’t make quota - they had to offer a bunch of snap bids. Expect a lot of these ladies to drop before second semester.

Miz Zeta is considered a mega chapter by their nationals, so they are pushed to get their pc numbers above 100 to continue to have nationals fund them. They met quota and then COBed about 30 girls who all went to pref at zeta but were dropped by them

@Sig Ep - if they went to their pref round, they weren’t “dropped by them.” It you attend pref, you must be somewhere on the house’s bid list. You may be the very bottom girl on their list, but if you make it to pref, you aren’t dropped. You are on the list. The girl may have preffed the other house top and been low enough on both lists to not get in, or may have not maximized her options as someone mentioned above & suicided the other house, not gotten in, and have been offered a snap by ZTA, but they weren’t “dropped” if they were at pref.

There are some weird chicks in zeta. Just saying.
