Quota at Baylor is 58 including Juniors. Tomorrow is bid day, and from what I've heard, it looks like every sorority has a good chance at bid matching. They also do quota additions.
Kappa Delta did not participate in formal recruitment, but will be doing their own parties next week.

Phi Sigma Sigma at Virginia Commonwealth University got 13 new members this past fall! :)

baylor! my aunt called, because apparently my cousin is still busy.
quota was 58, and they use new release figures:

alpha chi omega: 60 ( +2)
alpha delta pi: 70 ( +12)
chi omega: at least 58 (quota)
delta delta delta: 67 (+9)
kappa alpha theta: 58 (quota)
kappa kappa gamma: 62 (+4)
pi beta phi: 63 (+5)
zeta tau alpha: 58 (quota)

those numbers may be off by a few as girls drop over the next two days, but apparently, that's the number of bids initially extended and accepted.

kappa delta, another sorority at baylor, did not participate in formal recruitment, and will be doing their own this coming week.

Why did KD not participate in the NPC recruitment?

I know a few girls at Baylor, including a KD that I went to high school with... let me see what I can find out!

From what I heard, they just decided it was better for the group to focus on COBing to total, because they are now the only group below, and below by a bit. Last year at formal recruitment, of the girls that bidmatched to them, most declined. Many would SIP any other party, or drop out if kappa delta was their only group. My cousin attends there, and she says that it's not fair to them, but they are the group that happens to currently struggle with membership. Most girls would rather be GDI than Kappa Delta, and with a different informal recruitment, they've found it easier to pick up more girls without the stress of a failing formal recruitment.
By low number, she was stressing that quota her year was 63, and kappa delta only had 11 or 12 bid acceptances, and that many drop out further into the experience. They are less than a third of the average chapter size.
Panhellenic and SOME (although sadly, not all) of the sororities and even some of the fraternities are helping them out now.

I wasn't aware that you could really opt out of formal recruitment. I looked at their website which has pictures of really cute girls. I wish them the best of luck getting out of this hole...unfortunately, it never is fair.

I've heard of chapters not doing formal recruitment before, so that didn't surprise me.

Saying that, with some panhellenic help, it's a possibility. Baylor has brought chapters (including hers) back from the brink before.

I've heard of it before, but almost always before it's been of a "special interest" sorority - a sorority that traditionally caters to a particular group on campus. For example, I know of traditionally Jewish sororities at several schools that don't participate in formal.

On the other hand, I've never heard of a traditionally Christian sorority like KD opting out of formal recruitment. I don't think.

W&L Recruitment Results:

Bid Day was the 8th.

Quota was 20.

Pi Beta Phi took 22!

Quota was far lower this year because ADPi colonized. They were allowed to take up to total, which - AS FAR AS I KNOW - is still 70. Don't know their actual numbers, or the numbers of any other group besides my own.

I also found out that W&L is now using a quota range, by the way.

At W&L, ADPi took 81 (72 through formal recruitment, 9 others). I THINK total is 100.

All chapters made quota.

Quota additions at Baylor
 

I read the excellent explanation of quota additions in another thread (used the search, yay!) but I don't understand how so many chapters at Baylor went over quota - all but two? How is that possible? I am familiar with these chapters and I know some of the ones that went way over, like Kappa and Tri Delt, are already huge!!! Anyone have an idea?

Wow...it's wonderful that all groups made quota plus at least 1!

It can be dispiriting to be the group that fails at formal recruitment - and it makes it that much harder to be "up" for the new members you do get. I sincerely hope KD is able to COB some wonderful women and get up to total.

Hanover College Recruitment
 

Bid day was January 11
Quota was 14
Total is 68
Quota last year was 13

Alpha Delta Pi--14
Chi Omega--19
Kappa Alpha Theta--14
Phi Mu--17

This was the second year in a row that all four houses made quota. Before that, it had probably been ten years since all four made quota. COBs are still coming in, so the numbers will probably change. Phi Mu is the only house on campus at total at this time.

If a sorority is way under total and is having not the best luck in formal, yes, sometimes they do opt out - I've seen people talk about other chapters doing that on here. IMO it's not a good plan if they do want to get back into the swing of doing formal rush with all the other groups - it just feeds the rumor mill.

FWIW, I totally agree.

Thanks for the update on W&L, honeychile. Congrats and welcome to ADPi!

IMO, if they did up quota to 100 (it was at 70 the last time I was involved in W&L recruitment, as an alumna in 2006), it's high time they did - all the groups have been well above 70 for ages and ages.

Although - I'm assuming the 9 others are upperclassmen that they recruited from the fall. If the "quota" for ADPi was total, maybe total is still 70... dunno though.

I've gotta say I'm thrilled all the older groups made quota of 20. I was really worried that would not happen - it did not when KD colonized in 1997. So I am :) :) :) :) that everything has gone so well!!!

Congratulations to all the chapters at Baylor! I also want to say good luck to Kappa Delta. And of course I am really excited to see so many new ADPi Alphas! :)

Sacred Heart University is beginning the colonization of ZTA, KD, TPA and Phi Sig on Jan. 26. Info here: http://www.sacredheart.edu/pages/120...ecruitment.cfm

While looking up recruitment dates for Case Western Reserve University, I came upon this piece of trivia: The Alpha Chi Omega house at CWRU was owned by the great-grandmother of George Steinbrenner III, the current owner of the New York Yankees.

The dates for formal recruitment are January 24, 25, 31, and February 1.

I love Lehigh. My cousin's son goes there

Northwestern
 

"According to Jenni Glick, Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life, 425 women received offers, or “bids,” to join one of Northwestern’s 12 Panhellenic sororities during Bid Night at Leverone Hall on Tuesday. The number is slightly lower than last year’s pledge count of 441."

Zeta took 35 and Theta took 34.

Although I don't have all of the information, Ohio State's quota remained at 25. Alpha Gamma Delta took 28, Pi Beta Phi took 26, Kappa Kappa Gamma took 26, and Kappa Alpha Theta took 26.

KD and AOPi were under quota, but I don't have the numbers yet. I'm waiting on Buckeye Tri Delta to report in, as well.

There was a lot of snap bidding going on.


ETA: Delta Zeta took 24

Did i miss the results for Indiana University? Would love to know how it went.

Wow thats great! AOII only got 9 though?

I understand they are now up to 11 and haven't held formal pledging yet. Bad recruitment, I guess.

FWIW...last year one of the perennial top houses only took 12 in formal. A gasp was heard up and down E. 15th.

Delta Gamma - 21
Chi Omega - 21

Via facebook, Tri Sigma at Winthrop University has 13 new ones

Depauw's bid day was yesterday. Typically they post the names a few days later in The Depauw, but that website has not been updated since December 9.

I was reading something yesterday that they school is "down to" 68% Greek.

Winthrop University Formal Recruitment Results: Jan 30- Feb 1

Quota:12

Alpha Delta Pi: 12

All women who signed a bid card were offered a bid. I do not know if any were not accepted, but I know that all of the ADPi ones were. :)

Although there were less women participating in the process due to a change to deferred recruitment and the economy, I feel it was a good weekend for all PNMs! :)

Christopher Newport University: Quota was 21.

Gamma Phi Beta- 20
Phi Mu- 21
Alpha Phi- 24
Alpha Sigma Alpha- 25
Zeta Tau Alpha- 18
