Does anyone have news out of Valdosta State?

Iowa State: Quota 28

Wow. Quota last year was 43. I heard Iowa State had some problems, but that is a huge drop off.

Looks like lots of happy faces at South Carolina and UGA today.
So far, doesn’t seem like numbers most places where recruitment has occurred has suffered too much from COVID and virtual recruitment.

But for heaven’s sake...can the “baby” whatever’s PLEASE be a trend that finally goes away?????

The Baby Trend must have skipped out a few years, this is the first I've heard of it again since 2014. Back then I thought more than a few NPCs made it clear collegians were NOT to use those types of phrases; someone had better show our younger sisters those older memos.

School enrollment has been steadily dropping the past few years. They didn't have 500 people signed up for recruitment until like two days before it started.

Weren't they also contending with a hurricane during Recruitment?

Our SC chapter is relatively "new," and I am excited to see it doing so well! That can bea very competitive campus, too.

Kappa Kappa Gamma at South Carolina had 101!

I understand freshman quota was 82, upperclass quota was 11.

A derecho, so sort of? They're storms described as inland hurricanes. Although I've been told that nobody dropped due to it, it just pushed back recruitment by two days. A majority of the Greek houses were without power for around 30 hours.

Honeychile, it sure FELT like a hurricane! The aftermath has been a long experience throughout the midwest, too.

Per IG, the Kappas at Clemson welcomed 96 NMs.

literally said "oh my god!" out loud. that's HUGE for Clemson. my NM class was 63 and we thought that was big...

Clemson ADPi has 97 per instagram

I don't know what quota was. Do you think more women went through recruitment or more were placed? I was very impressed with the placement percent I saw on GC for Alabama.

Some updated (all from the LaneSig's thread for 2019-2020)
ZTA to open new chapter at Long Island U-Brooklyn (was Spring2020, now TBA)
ZTA to open new chapter at U of Wisc - Madison Fall 2021
DG re-opening at Clemson pushed to Fall 2021
Tr-Sigs did install their Theta Mu chapter at Randolph-Macon (VA) this year

DPhiE closed chapter at Georgia Southern Spring 2020
Phi Mu closed chapter at Appalachian St Spring 2020
Gamma Phi Beta closed chapter at UTenn-Chatanooga June 2020
SDT closed chapter at Kansas May 2020
Johnson & Wales Univ closed their campuses in Miami and Denver, thereby closing the AST chapters at those schools.

VERY happy to note Wisconsin's continued success in growing their number of sorority chapters! Can't believe it's been six years since my Aunt's Alpha Xi Delta chapter @UW was invited to recolonize.

Delta Gamma Fresno State= 24-Q 23.

Not sure if this has been reported, but I read that quota at LSU was 107 and all houses made quota. Seems like many schools are making the best of “recruitment in the time of COVID-19”!

It is way off topic, especially for this thread. You knew it but went ahead anyway. Look at all the other posts. No personal opinions, just facts and data on recruitment results. That's the purpose of this thread. Save the fluff for another thread.
