And I hate to even bring this up, but do they do that deal where the groups can bid up to chapter average instead of total? |

Oh No-not at all- I just think this year offers a unique opportunity for those girls who were unable to find a greek home at Bama. With #'s like this year a new Greek family is a plus.

Not sure how much this means, but the Alpha Phi rep my daughter spoke with said they weren't going for any particular number; they were going to take the ones they wanted, whether it was 2 or 200.

I have the new member list onto Excel now...sortable by sorority, name, hometown and state...PM me if you want a copy.

Congrats to all the New Members at Bama!:D
Last-year's list was so nicely organized. I hope someone in their office has the time to do that again for this year. Even my 25-year-old eyes strain a bit to read this year's and try to pick out individual members and hometowns! |

OK...recruitment is over...time for some FOOTBALL!!! |
I think Bama Blast started at 4 today, too. "Bama Blast is an event designed to welcome all incoming freshmen and transfer students with free food and live entertainment, while giving students a chance to meet each other before classes begin."

Im not sure if anyone has asked this, but what happened to SDT? I noticed they weren't included in recruitment totals.
|
They do not participate in formal recruitment. They do their own thing, and kudos to them.

I went by Letters this morning to purchase small gifts for two girls whose mother's are friends of mine who pledged Chi O and AOPi. The shopkeeper told me that the Alpha Phi's already have 200 girls that they plan to interview for membership.

Wooo - good job Alpha Phi! That's fantastic! |

Also, colonies generally like to take on a mix of class standings. They are going to want some freshmen, but the colony isn't going to be ALL freshmen. There are going to be some upperclassmen as well. |

I know it's a rhetorical point, but still... it makes me giggle. |

It's not completely impossible to get a bid as a sophomore - I just got a bid to Alpha Chi and my roommate is pledging Chi O. Another friend of ours dropped during rush last year and just got a bid to Alpha Gam. It's really about meeting lots of girls and getting involved on campus! |
rolltider17, are you on your pledge retreat? I thought I saw the A Chi Os leaving yesterday on buses. Also, the Phi Mu girls were leaving too.

Suggest that your daughter interview for Freshman Forum ... that should be gearing up soon. Also, coax her to keep her grades up and be initiated into Phi Eta Sigma, which is the Freshman Honor Society. If she DOES wait until next fall to rush again, exemplary campus activities could be her fresh ticket to her favorite Greek house. |
I just heard that Gamma Phi will DEFINITELY be recruiting up to total this year.
For the moms whose daughters did not receive bids as well as PNMs who did not receive bids, it might be a good idea to check out not only Alpha Phi, but Gamma Phi Beta as well -- two great Syracuse Triad groups! For more information about 'Bama's Gamma Phi Beta chapter, please PM kk_bama. In case her inbox is full, PM me and I'll shoot her email address along. |

Thanks, OTW - Gamma Phi is a wonderful group (not that I'm a bit biased!) and I'm so excited to have Alpha Phi coming on to the campus - I hope some pnms who perhaps had their heart set on other groups will give both Gamma Phi and Alpha Phi a closer look. |

It's the truth. Mountain Brook, among other towns/schools, has always been a very good town to be from at Alabama. Likewise at Arkansas, people from the town of Stuttgart are in high demand and you can generally judge the quality of the fraternity by the amount of kids from Stuttgart it pulls. I was impressed I saw at least three Arkansas girls. All from Little Rock, must have gone to Mount or Episcopal. |
Bama Recruitment
My friends daughter is now a Kappa Kappa Gamma at Bama. She is so excited.

OK, NOW I have put all the NEW info posted by UA (Thank you, Fawn Leibowitz, for posting the link) into another Excel spreadsheet, sortable by first name, last name, hometown, state, or sorority. PM me if you'd like it. BTW, I can't send an attachment to you via PM, so you'll need to send me an e-mail address.
ETA: Strike that. The "new info" was actually the 2007 list. BUT...I still DO have the 2008 list on a sortable Excel spreadsheet. PM me with your e-mail address if you'd like a copy. :) |

I really misunderstood a lot, particularly about upperclassmen quota. That's for taking the time to put it all together. |
Oh, come on!

On the other hand, I have no problem believing that the general sentiment/rhetoric behind that statement is absolutely true for Alpha Phi. Frankly, I believe they are going to possibly have 400-500 potential new colony members based on some of the things I've read here. Certainly at LEAST 300. They are going to have plenty of room to be selective and take the girls they really want - which frankly, as we can all figure out via common sense, is probably going to be a larger number rather than a smaller one. |
Everyone except Gamma Phi made quota. There must be something wrong with Pi Phi's list on the website because they made quota (at least freshman quota).

Now here is my disclaimer!! I want to caution people to not start thinking that our colonization plan is 10 women at Bama...I am not on the colonization team but given the house etc I would guess you will see somewhere around 100 new Phi's. However I felt really strongly that I needed to post and let people know yes we have pledged a highly selective few women on campuses where total is upwards of 100. It's important on this campus to be ultra selective. So while we may have 300 or more interviews I would be highly surprised if we pledged to total this semester as some great women are either too shell shocked from formal recruitment to put themselved through another process. Other women are hanging back to see how we do, what shakes out. We would be interested in speaking with these women and potentially pledging some of them later in the semester. On pins and needles for Alpha Phi and wishing the best to the team there! |
Texas711, thank you. I LOVE pie charts.
|
Our daughter made it into Gamma Phi Beta!!!!!!!!! Horray!!!!!!! She is so excited. Did anyone post photos? Congrats to ALL.
|
I have a quick question. If a girl is offered a bid by Alpha Phi and she denies it, she can't accept another "snap" bid from a different sorority, right? She has to wait a year, right before she can take another bid?
|
No. If she turns it down, she can accept elsewhere if one is offered. It's only if she accepts one that it is binding for a year. And it wouldn't be a "snap bid" from another group. It would be done thru COB/COR. Snap bids are offered between bid matching and actual bid day activities. Once all the bids are handed out from formal recruitment/snap bidding, the COR/COB process starts and continues until a group has reached quota and/or total. (or there is a moratorium for colonization for a new chapter)
