Just so you know there are only 16 houses going through this year. I was up for the first day of first round and they said they changed the system so that sororities who almost always do well can't just keep the girls they don't want just to have full parties which helps out the sororities that might not have doen so well.

I gotta admit, call me a stalker, but it's kind of neat to be able to see what girls around me went (one DG from Matthews! Yay!). Not like all of us can't look that stuff up within our organizations, but it's a lot easier this way...

When I was at USC (the SEC one) I was the one who made the motion to bring in that new release system. The following year, ALL chapters made quota, which had never happened all 4 years I had been there. It'll be interesting to see if that changes now that there's a 9th sorority on campus.

Bama officially started Recruitment yesterday. We finished the first half of Open House parties and the rest will be today. The final count of PNMs is 1113.

Holy smokes! DAYUMN! :eek:

Now that is friggin HARD CORE! :D

Roll Tide!!!

That's awesome - hope all goes well!

Small Georgia Update
 

AOII took Quota Plus 1 for 55 New Members! With the use of the new RFM, 14 of 17 chapters made quota which is the largest number in recent years! Go Georgia!

that is super-hopefully the few chapters who did not make quota are only a few new members away from that figure!!

Re: Small Georgia Update
 

Do you know which sororities made quota?

After a couple of snap bids, we (Alpha Gam) are also at quota with 54 girls. This means that 15 out of 17 houses made quota this year!

This is wonderful news! Congrats to everyone at Georgia.

Just got back from lockdown at the sorority house for recruitment week. I have to say the whole week was amazing!! I had so much fun!!!!

We had some really great girls go through and our retention rates,along with all of the other sororities were really high for each party!!! So we were really excited!

Tomorrow is BID DAY!!!! Wish us luck everybody!!

- Brief Bama Update -

We finished up 2nd stage/Philanthropy Day today. I don't know if it's the new Release Figure System or if our girls just did a fabulous job - maybe a little of both, but our return rate went up significantly this year. Yeah us! I heard through the grapevine that 1 GLO had a 98% return rate. That's amazing! I'm really interested to see what happens after Recruitment is over and we're able to share opinions and review results on the whole process.

I got home at 4am and it takes me awhile to unwind enough from Recruitment to get to sleep. I'm off to bed now only to get up at 6am to get the kids ready for school. It's going to be another long day and late night, though hopefully not quite so late. (cross your fingers for me). Long days/nights, little sleep, too much stress, and too much caffeine ... No wonder I always end up sick the week after Recruitment.

hang in the zillini!! glad that the return rates are up for the campus and your chapter is doing so well.

I am getting mixed info out of MS State:

Confirmed

DDD = 64!
Phi Mu =65!

Not Confirmed

Quota was 57?

XO made quota/+ ?
DG made quota/+ ?

Zeta did not make quota?

I have heard KD made quota (from a KD) and KD did not make quota (from a non KD)?

WOW! I'm super proud of my Panhellenic sisters down at Mississippi State! My best friend's sister was a Tri Delta at MSU!

How did ADPi do?

UK"s ADPi's made quota of 51 girls!



:)

I"m still soo happy about our new girls....:D

Thank you so very much!!! :)

Bama's quota was set at 57 for freshman and 5 for upperclassmen.

Pref night was today. The (computerized) Pref cards have been submitted/signed, the Bid Lists turned in and tomorrow is Bid Day. All that's left is the waiting. There is always such an odd mix of feelings the night before Bid Day. Exhaustion from lack of sleep, stressed out from the various problems that always occur from the big stuff to the piddly things, yet an incredible excitment waiting to find out who will be on our lawn.

LSU rush
 

Congrats to Delta Zeta at LSU!!! Today they hit quota for the 45th year in row. Welcome to 65 new baby turtles!

How did uk's AOpis do?
 

How close are they to making quota?

rush at UGA
 

Hello ladies! I am new to the boards...just moved away from the South...feeling nostalgic and wanted to know how ADPi did at UGA rush this year...What was quota? It seems less girls are going through and it is so much shorter then when I went through! Anyhow, give me a holler!:p

Re: rush at UGA
 

Quota was 54 and ADPi made quota.

Anyone know how Pi Phi did?

Pi Phi made quota, too. :)

LSU
 

I believe everyone at LSU made quota this year.

The larger houses had to make more cuts at the beginning of the week, helping out the other chapters to make quota- although I don't think making quota was ever really a problem.

Quota went from 80 in 2004 to 65 this year... a large drop! I think everybody is happy where they ended up!

Rush-Related Fire in Dorm at U. of Florida
 

The Gainseville paper has an article about a fire in one room at Broward (sp?) Hall. Apparently it was caused by a hair dryer someone was using while getting ready for a recruitment event, looks like no one was injured. The fire department reportedly had problems getting people out of the dorm because many thought it was a false alarm.

Want to bet THIS will be a rush week memory people will talk about for years?
