Round one is complete and round two takes place today. As predicted, heavy cuts were mandated for many chapters. Based on what my daughter is saying, I would say over 50% were released from some houses after round 1.

My daughter was a little stressed about those heavy cuts but was expecting them. I imagine tonight will hit her harder because things will be tougher as they continue to whittle down the list.

Wow 50% cuts seem pretty high. I have a special pnm going thru rush her and now I am worried for her.

Yeah they've been locked inside pretty badly. Just excited to hear the results, wish I could get up there this year.

We took 104 baby hoots today!!!!! Rush was insane!!!! I will update with the full story after I get more than 4 hours of sleep at a time and tell you how it all ended up! But let's just say I will have a permanent smile plastered on my face for the next week!!!!!

Holy moly, 104 new members? How big is your house at the moment? How many seniors graduated last year? How much of a percentage growth is that? What is "average" number of members/new members this year?

I have to say this again, I love the Greek houses at U of A. When we visit my inlaws, we usually try to spend a day in Fville. I haven't seen any other Alpha chapters, so seeing the Chi O house is treat.

PS My niece plans to go there in Fall 2013, and I don't know if she is interested in going through recruitment, but I hope to be able to hook her up here and with other resources.

Quota was 102

Chi O 104
ZTA 103
AOII 102
KKG 105

Wow. in the hundreds. that is absolutely no good. Congrats girls.

But that's no good.

WOW!!!! 104??? That is great...but very overwhelming to imagine! Where I come from, that's several chapters!!!!

Glad your recruitment went well!

I am stunned and remembering the days of bed rush at Arkansas when the group could only take as many girls as they had bed space for, which was usually 25-30. The minute rush was over, the new members moved in.

Actually today they announced quota as 101. KD took 105 too. Today was AMAZINGGG! Literally I have never been so proud of my sorority. Every girl that we got was top notch, stunning, intelligent, and such a classy lady! I'm sooooooo excited for this year! Bid night was so much fun and I'll share more about the actual week hopefully tomorrow!

Congrats on your successful week. I will have to find out how my daughter's friend fared.

Wowweee!:eek: Quota 101! I couldn't even imagine that many girls on Bid Day...Congrats to our Psi Chapter and to all the other chapters at U of A.Even with the heavy cuts first round,it is difficult to fathom the thought of that many pnm's getting bids... Lots of happy faces finding their home.Yay!:)

Congrats to Psi Chapter!
 

And now the work begins! To welcome each new member, get to know each one, teach each one about Chi Omega and to instill the life-long honor and responsibility that it is to be a Chi Omega.

What a rich and proud heritage Chi Omega has at the University of Arkansas, but this is not a birthrite...it is a responsibility to uphold that excellence year after year. Good luck, dear Sisters.
