My rec girl dropped out before pref :-( I absolutely could not convince her to stick with it and tried explaining that this most likely would be her only chance to go Greek.

Oh...so sorry....wish she had held on. These gals....

if any of you are there and have a chance, come by the Dg house and see me!

I have 2 rec girls this year. As far as I know, 1 had a great week, and I think the other had a very good week as well.
My daughter is a senior, and is experiencing everything for the "last" time as an undergrad. Her sorority is in a "rental" house this year. so it's an unusual rush this year. Bittersweet I'm sure.
Hope to hear exciting news from both my girls tomorrow!

Will update you tomorrow? What happens if you order from the trunk and its the wrong house?

The Greek stores actually get the bid lists early enough to make up the gifts in the correct sorority items and colors. Can you imagine the security of those stores to keep the lists secret??

The gal I knew going through Bama recruitment was released before Pref :(

I had a rec. girl who was not invited to Prefs. All in all of my rec. girls, 2 had smooth experiences with some minor bumps along the way and the other 4 had rough rides, three making it to pref.

Is this the same girl I wrote the rec for? If so, I'm very sad.

Yes

Quota around 120.
Bids being opened now.
List released about 12 noon from what I understand.

Is that quota freshman or overall? If it's overall, do you know what the freshman quota is?

Overall.
Looks like 10 (more or less) underclassmen. Rest freshmen.
I'm not a panhellenic official or even in Tuscaloosa.
Just guaging from reports.

My daughter texted quota 113 to me. That might be freshman, but I don't know for sure.

If I read irishpipes thread correctly, quota has gone from 80 in 2011 to 120 this year. Is that right? Oh my!

That's about right...variations for every group, as you know.

That is correct!
I'll try to find that chart that shows the growth.
