quota

Poster Message:
Sororities don't get to chose how many women they take. Quota is determined by Release Figure Methodology (RFM). RFM maximizes the number of women that will receive bids, as well as takes into account how many women chapters need to meet total (average number of women in a sorority at Mizzou). It tries to get as close as it can to making everyone happy - with chapters meeting total and pnms getting bids. On bid day, each sorority will find out how many women they are taking. Most chapters will make quota. Some chapters have long bid lists the night before because they invite 100 women to each pref party. Some chapters will only invite 50 women to each pref party, but they have higher return rates and are more likely to have PNMs preference them, so historically they don't need to worry about making quota because if they are a stronger recruiting chapter, they will always get the girls they want. Quota was 80 in 2013, although many chapters went above and beyond quota. 1760-something girls went through recruitment and the number of girls who got bids was between 1200 and 1300. Hundreds of girls drop during the week when they decide the process isn't for them, but I believe up to 150 women didn't receive bids on bid day, most likely because they did not preference all of their options.
