More info from FB:
Theta Tau took quota=32
Alpha Pi took quota(8) + 4!= 12
Alpha Beta= largest new member class in over a decade, bigger than their recolonization class! at 42 on Bid Day, quota was 48, they are only 18 members from Total! Absolutely amazing! They were trying to get 5 more before Monday morning when COR goes on a two week hiatus for a Zeta recolonization effort.

Update: Alpha Pi is up to 14 and Alpha Beta is up to 44!

Two thumbs up! Thanks Dee.

Yes, Theta Tau took Quota and is now over total of 68! They have worked so hard for years to get to this point and it has finally paid off!

Zeta (Ohio University) took 30, quota was 26.

Beta Epsilon, Carroll College in WI: Quota=11, we took 12, putting us over Total :) Let's go Area E! My chapters are rocking!

Your Delta Pi chapter at SFSU took 51 new ladies.

All I could think of while looking at these was "In 3 more years, this could be MY daughter" ... you know, if she decides on Michigan and if she wants to be an Alpha Gam.. how cool would that be???

I know a lot could change, but what schools is she interested in? My niece that is a HS Sr., has it narrowed to three schools -- two of which have Alpha Gam chapters. Even though her sister was not interested in Greek Life (thanks to my brother), I have more of a chance with this one to at least look into it. Fingers are crossed.

Her first choice at the moment is Columbia. She would also consider Brown and Cornell and I'm working on talking her into applying to Barnard because their acceptance rate is one of the highest of the Ivy's. She is balking at the "all girls school" concept but it's my understanding that Columbia and Barnard are pretty much one school, sharing sororities, courses available, etc. She would love to go to school in New York City. She initially turned her nose down at Michigan but she has spent a little time in Ann Arbor and she loves the atmosphere there. We were in a deli downtown and she saw posters on the wall for poetry readings and saw students studying there with their laptops and was enamored with the whole atmosphere. She kept saying "This is so cool, this is SO COOL". I drove her past the Alpha Beta house and she said "WOW!". She now has decided that Michigan will be her "safety" school. I have many reasons for preferring Michigan, but if she makes it into an Ivy, I'll do whatever I can to make that happen for her. Michigan is only a 45 minute drive. She would probably get a scholarship there if she continues academically as she has been. She'd have a chance to work on The Michigan Daily which would be a good start to the journalism career she is aspiring toward. And, I do think she'd love it in Ann Arbor. She's got a very creative/artsy streak that is well suited to the whole Ann Arbor environment. Of course being an Alpha Gam would be great too, but I know that may not happen and it's not my main reason for wanting her to go there :) She is a kid who is going to thrive in the college/academia atmosphere no matter where she goes.

Just got word that Beta Xi, Purdue, has gotten 15 more new members since formal ended. w00t!

I just posted this to the Recruitment forum.....from the FHSU website:

"Congratulations to the members of the Alpha Gamma Delta and Delta Zeta sororities as each almost doubled its size through the Fall Recruitment process. This fall 29 women joined the Sorority community at Fort Hays State University, with approximately 60 women attending at least one event."

The Beta Delta chapter at IU added 50 beautiful Alpha Gams on Monday!!
