[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is "bed rush?"  How are quotas used by sororities? [/quote]

At 99% of the campuses in the US, every PNM who completes the recruitment process is guaranteed a bid. If she isn't dropped by all the sororities and doesn't voluntarily quit, she will be placed in a sorority as a new member. This results in placement of 80-90% of the potential new members in a sorority. Every sorority is allowed to take a set number of new members. That set number is "quota."    Quota is set by taking the number of potential new members who complete recruitment and dividing it by the number of sororities.

Indiana doesn't use quota. Each sorority sets it own number. They can take 3 new members or 100 new members. It's up to them. They usually set the number on the basis of how many beds they anticipate will be open in the next year. (Ie. we have 10 seniors graduating, so we will take 10 freshman as new members.)   These numbers are way below the number of interested women who would like to be in a sorority. They place maybe 50% of the women who would like to join. It's a bloodbath. [/quote]
