So excited for the new Aggie sorority girls! I know it has been a crazy fun busy week for the girls on both sides of the process. I also would love to know what quota will be because the rumor is more girls stuck with the process, so it might be up quite a bit from last year. :) If so, that is great for the entire Greek community!

Quota numbers should be out in the hour or so. Fingers crossed it has gone up this year.

I heard that more girls stuck with the process as well! Whoop! My daughter has had a blast participating in her first Spirit Week/Recruitment.

Well, I think I know quota. I may be off a few I think it is 66 or 67 something like that. Good news is freshman quota went up and upper class quota remained stable at 18. Whoop! is right.

Wow! That's almost a 25% increase over last year's quota of 54! It's wonderful to see the upperclass quota stabilizing as well. Can't wait to hear how the individual houses did!

A&M 2013 Quota
 

I read on another post that this years quota is 67. This number is not yet confirmed.

Both of my girls dropped out after the final night's parties. :-(

I'm sorry to hear that your girls dropped after preference. All of the houses at Texas A&M are strong and the sororities at A&M are wonderful about supporting each other.

However, there are many other freshman leadership opportunities (FLOs) that might be of interest to your girls. It is another way to get involved as a new student to TAMU.

Aww. Im sorry. Did they give you a reason? My daughter went in last year "knowing" that she was going to end up with a bid to one of the top houses at A&M. Well, after 2 days of full party schedules she was stunned to find out that she was only invited to one preference party. After lots of tears (from both of us) and a long phone conversation she decided the experience of being in a sorority was more important than what level of house she belonged to. Thankfully, she received a bid the next day. It took some time to get over the sting of rejection, but over about a 6 week time period she found herself really liking her house. And now, a year later, she is proud of her house and loves her new sisters.

After being invited to full party schedules through the week she was invited to only one preference party. She attended the party, but just did not feel connected to the girls. :-(
She is sad, but feels she made the right decision.

My OOS rec girl went Delta Gamma. Her Alpha Chi mother, my friend, is excited that she found her home, but I tiny bit sad that it wasn't with her legacy house. At least she was successful!

QUOTA - 67

68 beautiful new Gamma Phis . . . including a legacy for whom I wrote a rec! - now to find out where the rest of my rec crew went!

Delta Zeta took 68! 49 Freshman, 19 upperclass (as I understand quota was 49 freshman/18 upperclass)

Just read on a different thread that KD is also celebrating with 68 new sisters. A&M's quotas this year are on par with TCU! Thats a huge achievement for A&M Greek life!

I am happy to report that 69 lovely ladies joined Kappa Kappa Gamma yesterday. I am happy that Texas A&M continues to expand Greek Life for all the wonderful chapters. Good luck to the members and pledges as they begin school tomorrow.

We would all love to hear a recruitment story if anyone cares to share now that the process is complete.
