Northern Michigan University,Zeta Upsilon, quota=9, AGD=9... I have to add, they returned to campus with 11 women this semester so they almost DOUBLED their chapter size. Quota last year was 2 and they took 4. They were also on scholarship prob and raised their GPA to a 3.02. AND, they did all of this without a single solitary advisor in the middle of nowhere!!! I am SO proud of this chapter! I hope the alumnae initiate recruitment for advisors we're staging is as successful!


Ball State University, Beta Tau, quota=22, AGD=24

A little birdie told me that Delta Tau (Chapman) pledged quota plus, but I'm still waiting for the official numbers. Way to go, California Gams!

Theta Tau (Belmont Univ.) has 22 baby squirrels! Quota was 30. That means that we have 66 squirrels on campus now, and chapter total is 69 - we will finally reach chapter total this year! CORs have already been planned, and we couldn't be more excited for our baby squirrels.

Zeta Sigma Chapter at Northwood University got 11 baby squirrels which brought us to chapter total of 36!

has anybody heard how Alpha Kappa (Bowling Green State University) did?

I don't know but I heard Alpha Lamda doesn't have power.:(

Delta Zeta ~ more good news!!
 

Delta Zeta (UBC) has welcomed 27 (quota + 2) new baby squirrels :)

Congrats!

Good thing is that classes don't start until September 24 so luckily the collegians haven't moved back into the chapter house thankfully! But Columbus was hit hard so let's hope that everything is back to normal by this weekend when move-in starts!

They have power now.

Update from Delta Pi - San Francisco State University!!! We pledged 47 new members and two legacies!!! We are really excited and can't wait them all to become a part of our sisterhood.

Read on Facebook that Mu got quota plus 4 (didn't say what quota was...usually about 8???). Largest nm class on campus.:D

All of OSU was out for several days. I had my niece with me in LA when the storm hit. Her roommate told her not to hurry back to Columbus. Niece's apartment is not too far from Alpha Lambda.

Woo hoo, Delta Pi! Way to go...I remember when 15 was a big pledge class. I can't believe how far the chapter has come. :)

Kappa Gamma (Univ. of Texas- Corpus Christi) postponed recruitment a week because of Hurricane Ike, but they had a successful recruitment and welcomed 27 new members.

Also, Delta Sigma (Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa) welcomed 15 new members last Friday night, increasing chapter total to 40. Pretty impressive, considering they were down to 11 returning collegians at the start of recruitment this time last year. :) :D

Apparently Tau got 11 (!!!!) baby squirrels this year!

ETA: Quota was 12.

My daughter is a new Alpha Gam at the University of Michigan. She said there are 30 new members.

Congrats to you and your daughter. She will have a fantastic time at school.

Yay!!!!!! I SO hope I can type those words some day... That house is gorgeous and the cook is great!

Great work!

Beta Epsilon: Quota 10, Alpha Gams 10 :)

Alpha Gam is doing great this year!!

(Dee, I pulled for UM while watching the UM-Wisc game Sat b/c the UM chapter is still open;)) If they had both been open, it woulda been a toss up, lol.

I toured the Alpha Beta house a few days ago when I visited my daughter. It's beautiful, and the members were terrific--so friendly and gracious. I can't wait to see a chapter photo. My daughter said there are some on Facebook, but I'd like to see one here. Thanks for your efforts, LionInMI.

Gamma Upsilon has a 21 member pledge class.

This is most of them on Bid Day. The girls are also on http://umagd.moonfruit.com. And they're awesome!

I can't wait to see them at IRD, more than 100 strong. I remember the time when we had to have room for around 700 for IRD because we had almost 300 just from Alpha Beta and Chi and we still had 6 other collegiate chapters plus alumnae attending.

Congratulations to Alpha Beta!

This was posted to the Rose Sisters Yahoo Group, so I think it's the official word:
"Congrats to our collegiate chapters for doing well in recruitment. They made 96% of the goal."

I don't know what "the goal" was (quota? total? or a lesser-yet-achievable number?), nor how 96% compares to "the goal" in previous years, but from all the reports on this thread, it sounds as though it's been a good season. (Now, to initiate and retain them!)

I got a note from their Member Development Adviser that they were the only NPC group to get quota through formal recruitment.

96% of Quota was achieved during fall formal recruitment by the chapters who participated in fall formal recruitment.

So far :)

Wow... that is crazy. Im from a tiny school and we have tiny frats/sororities here. We picked up 4 new guys and are happy with that number.

Which one is your daughter, alphagamsmom?
 

In the Alpha Beta NM photo, she's directly under the "Alpha".

Sorry, I haven't checked this thread for a while. Her name starts with "K".

I just wanted to add that Tau's Feast of Roses is in two weeks and from what I was told at the New Members' Welcome Tea, we're at total!

Gamma Tau is initiating 24 tonight!
 

:cool:

Yay!!! I miss working with Tau! I'm excited for them though!

This is not official, but I heard through the grapevine that Alpha lambda at Ohio State took 28, which is OVER QUOTA!!!!!

I have a message into one of the actives to get the actual numbers.
