If a sorority is way under total and is having not the best luck in formal, yes, sometimes they do opt out - I've seen people talk about other chapters doing that on here. IMO it's not a good plan if they do want to get back into the swing of doing formal rush with all the other groups - it just feeds the rumor mill.

FWIW, I totally agree.

Thanks for the update on W&L, honeychile. Congrats and welcome to ADPi!

IMO, if they did up quota to 100 (it was at 70 the last time I was involved in W&L recruitment, as an alumna in 2006), it's high time they did - all the groups have been well above 70 for ages and ages.

Although - I'm assuming the 9 others are upperclassmen that they recruited from the fall. If the "quota" for ADPi was total, maybe total is still 70... dunno though.

I've gotta say I'm thrilled all the older groups made quota of 20. I was really worried that would not happen - it did not when KD colonized in 1997. So I am :) :) :) :) that everything has gone so well!!!

Congratulations to all the chapters at Baylor! I also want to say good luck to Kappa Delta. And of course I am really excited to see so many new ADPi Alphas! :)

Northwestern
 

"According to Jenni Glick, Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life, 425 women received offers, or “bids,” to join one of Northwestern’s 12 Panhellenic sororities during Bid Night at Leverone Hall on Tuesday. The number is slightly lower than last year’s pledge count of 441."

Zeta took 35 and Theta took 34.

KD and AOPi were under quota, but I don't have the numbers yet. I'm waiting on Buckeye Tri Delta to report in, as well.

There was a lot of snap bidding going on.
