pledge classes are smaller
by: Good luckI don’t mean to scare PNMs but houses will have smaller than normal pledge classes this year. Personally my houses pledge class is going to be around 40 people less than last year. Unfortunately that means less room for girls that are unknown to land in top houses

If a class is normally 150-160 and is now reduced to 120 and the house has legacies and connections'which fills 75 spots that does imply there's less spots for unknown PNMs. It does translate into a more competitive rush imo. Not trying to scare anyone or be negative either. Best of luck to all!

You are talking out of your ass. There are less girls rushing this year. Less legacies, less connected, less unconnected, less of everybody. There are no reserved spots or fixed numbers. Quota will be calculated after 3rd round. Just like always. Please stick to fashion merchandising or whatever and don't attempt statistics without supervision.

Damn Gina, your math skills suck! It’s all based on percentages, so smaller classes do not in anyway mean a tougher rush. Just less girls to begin with.
Have fun in whatever major you’re in in Human Environmental sciences.

I'm actually pre-med and smarter than you for sure. No need to offend me with your reference to half-ass majors reserved for AXO. Haha!
There's still the same number of Legacies and connected PNMs from Mtn Brook, Huntsville, Mobile and Montgomery. I believe the lower numbers for PNMs are from far OOR and this would mean stiffer completion for OR houses for unconnected PNMs.
I think you're wrong!

Ok, so there are 400 fewer PNMs than 2 years ago. Let’s say the missing girls are all OOS (which is unlikely because UA is actually losing in state students to auburn but I digress). That in itself does not decrease PC size. It may mean that some “unknown” PNMs may not end up in old row, like they would have if say 400 more OOS girls were to rush.
If that’s your point, sure, you could be right. But if we’re considering getting a bid at all to be a successful recruitment, then it makes no difference. The same number of girls are getting a bid either way.

There actually is some merit to their argument. The girls from the south that are super connected, all their friends from high school rushed, etc were 99% going to rush no matter what. This number doesn't change from year to year. The number of OOS/OOR does, which means it will be comparatively harder for OOS/OOR girls.
For example, my OR house usually has around 200 girls that are "tops" coming in (these girls were going to rush anyway). Say we get half of them when quota is 150, that leaves 50 spots for girls that we didn't know about coming in. If quota is 120, it leaves only 20 spots for unknown girls.

And a quota of 100 is not likely. More like 120 to 125
