Not being snarky or rude, and not at all wrong; y'all really don't seem to understand how it works. Quota and Quota Additions are not related, and COB is not about Quota either. Quota is the maximum number that all chapters are allowed to take. If there wasn't a limit, then stronger recruiting sororities could take many more of the PNM's each year, and weaker or newer chapters would be left with far fewer, so there is a maximum Quota, not a minimum, to keep it fair. When a house does not make Quota at Bid Matching they are allowed to Snap Bid before Bid Day. Quota Additions do not count as part of Quota. A house can take Quota Additions and still not make Quota. Quota Additions go to the smaller houses when at all possible to keep total house memberships on par with each other. Quota Additions exist not for the houses, but to ensure that potential members don't go without a bid when they have participated fully in attendance and rankings. This used to happen; girls would attend two prefs and still not get a bid even though they were on both houses' bid lists, so now there is Quota Addition to prevent that kind of mismatch. COB is an option for houses that did not make Quota and also for houses that are under total house membership. No house has to COB, it is a choice. Total house membership is also a maximum number, not a minimum, to keep it fair. All this information is correct and easily verifiable.
