52 is the max all across the board for all girls' clubs. I think the guys have a lower cap number, but that's because less guys are interested.

Thanks a lot, again, haha. I agree that capping this year may be a difficult challenge, but if we have 52 (or more) girls interested in us, we're not going to turn them away just because we have so few veterans. We're making Bid Night baskets (given from bigs-lils, it's kind of a pledging survival kit) tonight and all that fun stuff! :D

Girls are still ranking today, so we won't know the number of "first choicers" until tomorrow morning and won't know how many accept until tomorrow when we distribute bids. Oh man, I'm SO excited! Haha. I am so proud of my fellow sisters and can't wait to bring so many wonderful women into our club's rich legacy. <3 I'll continue to keep you all updated as the weekend unfolds.

I hope you have people from different years, though, so all of these women don't graduate at the same time and leave you in the same predicament in three years. Otherwise, have fun this weekend seeing how all of this works out!

Here's a pic of 32 of our 41 NEW BABY FLAMES!!! :D

Congratulations! I have loved your story! Way to go!

Wow! 41! That is phenomenal. I'm so proud of you guys, BeeVee. You've come a long way from worrying that your little club wouldn't make it! Great job! Good luck teaching these new girls about your sisterhood.

Excellent!!! I'm so happy for you and all your new sisters to be!!!

WOW! I feel like the word "congratulations" isn't strong enough here. You were so, so worried, and persevered, and, just, wow!!

Aww, thank you guys so much! We actually lost a few, due to scheduling conflicts they didn't know about. So we actually have 38, but that's still amazing! We had Bid Night yesterday and it was great. They're all being so respectful and are having a great time learning the traditions and just having fun. I love all the baby Flames, they're wonderful.

Pledging is finally over and we are so excited to have 34 new members! :D Most everyone on here that cares figured out what club I'm in so I don't mind posting this picture. :]
