question about drops
by: Kk
How many openings (on average) does each chapter
have? If 2800 girls are going thru rush, how many of those will get a bid? Will each chapter cut a lot more Thursday? I have 3 I'm going to for sisterhood. I like all of them. I'm scared I wont get a bid. 😢

Everyone has the same number of "openings." Quota is based on the number of PNMs who complete at least one preference party and submit a ranking divided by the total number of sororities, with a few additions to some given the way quota additions work in the computer's mathematical formula.

That's not true. A lot of great PNMs only have one for pref for a variety of reasons and some are completely dropped before pref.
Having only one party for pref is actually kind of awesome since you know you are guaranteed to receive a bid as long as you list them on your card(unless you do something truly insane like set a member on fire haha) so can relax and enjoy the party.

Quota (the number of openings) will be the same at every house. It's the number of girls with pref invitations divided by 16 (# of houses). Every single PNM who is invited to 1+ house(s) for Pref is guaranteed a bid as long as she maximizes her options. That means you must list every pref house you attend on your pref card and you are guaranteed a bid to one of those houses. It's kind of a reward for trusting the process all week!
At this point, more girls won't get bids because they will drop out of rush because they don't like the houses they have left....which is silly cause all of our houses are awesome and if you can't make friends in a pledge class of 130+ girls, the problem is you- not the chapter. My guess based on previous years is that less than 100 girls are totally cut from all houses during the week...it's pretty rare.

How does the upperclassmen quota work? I understand that it's separate but is that quota the same for every house or different and based on how many upperclassmen spots they can fill? Thanks in advance!

Yes, upperclassmen quota is the exact same # for each house. Whether they choose to take the full upperclass quota is up to each individual house.

Also, every chapter has a slightly different number of PNMs they have to cut every round. This is based on historical data of PNM return rates. Some houses need to invite back more to achieve the same quota than others.
If you attend preference at a house, you are somewhere on their bid list. However, if you aren't high enough on there to be above where quota occurs at that house, then you won't receive a bid there (unless you're added as a quota addition because you listed all the houses you preffed and all of those houses reached quota before they got to your name on their bid list.)
