It depends on how many girls each sorority graduated and needed to get to their limit. I believe 84 was quota and then a group could pledge up to whatever got them to the limited amount so that every sorority has the same membership number. I may be wrong but I think it went from 80 - 104, again the actual number for each individual group was dependent on how many each group graduated last year and needed to be equal to the limit. Congratulations to all!! 1498 pledged!

KKG, DG, and several others chose to pledge 98 girls so that they would not do open rush.

Sororities that have high graduation rates and pledged a lot of girls in earlier years that were freshmen back several years ago, lost a lot last year. This way they can make it up each year and be back at the norm for chapter numbers. Really quite easy to figure out. All the groups have large PC and will need to work hard at keeping everyone happy.

Some groups decided to pledge more and reach full capacity after graduating a lot of older girls last year. Some were at capacity and have a lower quota. Works out since more girls got to pledge than would have. The poster does not know her facts and just wants to say negative comments.
#6 by: Graduation- early
I know a couple that took more had girls that graduated early two years in a row. Their numbers were lower allowing them to take more this year. This years group was so good it was a great year to take advantage of Quota Additons. That is not always the case.

That is not how that works. Panhellenic sets quota after prefs so that every chapter will get about the same number of girls. Chapters that got quota additions are able to add those girls even if it makes them over total if it makes sure that the most women who came to prefs are placed and get their first choice. Some chapters might choose not to take quota additions after prefs and that can lead to PNMs with no bid Bid Day

Quota is the same for all sororities. The sororities with higher numbers have lost more girls during the year due to early graduations and just simple retention of members. The stronger recruiting chapters with strong consistent retention rates have totals closer to quota. I agree it was a great year to get quota additions!

Many groups graduate a lot and lose others to transferring (some majors end up being better at other colleges, etc.). It is suppose to be a system where it remains equal as a group pledges and then loses to graduation, but needless to say it does not always works like that. If a chapter ends up graduating a larger group than others one year, it will hit them harder than a group that did not. Simple math. All the sororities did sooo good this year!!!! Congratulations to all!!! AU is a great home!

And clarification to my own post: chapters CAN go over Chapter Total with the matched new members from Formal Recruitment, but they can't add any more after that.
Sorry for the confusion.
