We had them in mind when we re-designed the new member period. It's not elegant, but it works. In their case, a lot of the new member education can happen during a new member retreat. They have definitely had assistance from VST and IHQ about how to make it work.

I used to oversee this chapter and they were actually really tiny and in jeopardy 7 or 8 years ago. It's wonderful to see that they've pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and maintained a great growth rate!

They don't do everything in 3 weeks. They do the most essential things and continue their programming after Initiation. With the way the Alpha Gamma Delta Experience is set up now, it is much easier for them to do this since it is geared toward learning throughout the collegiate years, not just while a new member.

Yay Lafayette!

Congrats to Delta Xi!! :)
 

:) As posted in the Recruitment Forum ...

According to our official FB page and the Delta Xi FB chapter page, Alpha Gamma Delta proudly welcomed 56 new members at ASU yesterday ...

Congratulations ladies!!

Beta Xi (Purdue): 38
Delta Sigma (Hawaii): 12
Theta Lambda (W. Florida): 30

Epsilon Phi (Texas Women's University): 21

Beta Iota (Eastern Illinois): 27
Delta Rho (Sonoma State): 60 (!!)

Surprisingly enough, I know two sisters from this chapter! One I got to know while she was pledging my Phi Sig Chapter (& went on to become a great brother!). She met her husband because of her AGD membership and when he got re-stationed, she went with him (I hope I'm remembering that correctly).

Another, is a close friend from my alumnae chapter. She just sent me a review of my graduate school personal statement. She has worked at Duke for a number of years doing research on asthma and just started Pharmacy School.

Zeta Eta (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute): 14

Theta Tau (Belmont): 48

Hello Everyone! We are happy to report that the Delta Pi chapter at San Francisco State University took quota of 54 members! We are thrilled and excited about all our new members!

Congratulations to the Delta Pi and the SFSU baby squirrels!:D

UBC (Delta Zeta) proudly welcomed 23 or 24 New Members! :)

From FB:
Iota (Washington): 37
Omega (Akron): quota + 1 = 18
Delta Gamma (Montana State): 19
Epsilon Nu (Central OK): photo posted, no # given
Epsilon Upsilon (Tarleton State): 59

(I was on the very first extension visit to Tarleton State in 1977 or thereabouts.)

I think we can mention that one of those Omega new members is the legacy (daughter) of one of our beloved Foundation Trustees :)

Is that a huge recruitment for UBC? It seems significantly larger than I seem to remember in the past!

Recruitment numbers have growing steadily over the past few years at UBC. Though this year's quota (23) was slightly lower than last year (28 or 29?), there was an an eighth chapter added to campus earlier this year with the recolonization of A O Pi.

Campus total has also been increasing and is now in the mid-70s!

It's an exciting time to be Greek at UBC! :)

Sigma (Illinois) = 64

And this made me sooo stinking excited I about couldn't stand it!!

Beta Epsilon (Carroll) -- 13
Kappa Beta (Missouri Western) -- 9

Update 10/1: KB has COB'd 4 so their NM class has 13!

(Let's root for 100% retention and initiation!)

Jen, is UBC the largest Greek system in Canada?

Tau (Toronto) = 12
Delta Omicron (UNLV) = 42

Sorry to jump in- I would say either BC or Toronto

Beta Gamma (University of Manitoba)- Quota was 5, we got 6!!!!

BC's Greek system is much larger than Toronto's. MUCH.

I just got the (on-paper!) newsletter from Beta Beta.

Beta Beta (North Dakota State): 31 (quota 32); BB chapter total: 75.

Updates?
 

Can anyone provide other recruitment updates?

Zeta Zeta (WPI) = 39 (quota plus 1).

Lots of initiation pictures on FB these days.

Yea!!

Austin Peay will have their first Initiation in 2 weeks!

I was going to go but decided not to, but I will be meeting my Pearl Sister this Sunday! :D

I didn't see this anywhere on the board, so I'm sorry if I am repeating - Zeta Omega chapter initiated 6 girls in November! We're a pretty small chapter, so that was a lot for us!
