My daughter said 58, but looks like most groups are taking more than that.
|
It was probably because they had a rather major upheaval in the Greek Life office from what I understand; Claudia Shamp is back as the Director after having previously retired!:eek: Can you imagine being ready to relax and then getting the call to come back????

She had retired last school year or the year before as I recall..... |
Besides, there is scholastic rank, rank in size, rank in dues, rank in number in the house, etc.
Here's a scholastic link. http://www.uga.edu/panhellenic/forms/Rank.pdf |
GreekAlpha Soup I appreciate it , but this is the Fall 2007. The Spring 2008 was out 4 months ago , but Panhel won't publish it for some reason. The Frat boys had their Spring 2008 grades up 3 months ago. Last year they were posted by June. I didn't realize Claudia had retired which now explains the problem I have noted in the office in the past months.

Sorry to have been off so long, I know many of you have been looking for me. DD just texted to let me know that they are at the house and "already havin fun!" So glad to hear that! I'm not going to say where, but I think she's found a great spot!
I hope everyone's story is ending happily tonight! Regarding some of the other earlier posts on recruitment, I think UGADad has a great point when he suggests that it occur later in the year. Many schools do this. Not only does it give the pnm's a better chance to get to know the sororities, but the sororities also get a chance to know more about the pnm's and see them in action...whether it be volunteering at a shelter or making the walk of shame from a fraternity house at 6:00am! |
Please tell us!!!!

I was looking for the grade report a few weeks ago and was surprised it wasn't up. While it has information that is good to know, I don't there was anything on there that was radically different from the last couple of semesters. I also can't imagine someone making a decision about which group to list on a bid card based on one semester's grade report. (which isn't to say that I wasn't looking for it).
Some campuses don't even post them at all, so I'm sure sure that UGA's greek life office was especially remiss. You might want to dial back your expectations for responsiveness or you are likely to be very unhappy dealing with UGA while you or your child are enrolled there. I love that school, but you have absolutely no hope of prevailing on staff to change the way they run it through multiple demanding emails. If you do hope to effect a change, you'll have a much better shot working from the inside serving on panhellenic than demanding from the outside. |
Claudia's back... but they also have a new Panhellenic advisor they hired in Dec... Kat Gillen (?) I think she's a tri-sig which is one of the few sororities not at UGA.

I agree with UGAMomof4....I, too, think recruitment should be later (and anything, really, could be better than ending with bids issued on the first day of class....duh....freshmen....huge campus....we started right off sending a message that greek was as (if not more) valuable than class what with all of the focus on the bid coming. Of course, I went right along with it all and didn't override that impression with my DD since I was just as wrapped up in waiting for the bid to come out, and how the first night at the house went for her. Classes? Who noticed classes?

Some campuses manage to do it, but if you talk to girls at Ole Miss, I'm not sure recruitment there is a bed of roses. It's not that I'm particularly opposed to deferred recruitment, but UGA actually did a study and decided against it. Armchair quarterbacking recruitment is fun, but it's a little disrespectful to the people in the trenches to assume that you could do it better when most of us don't even know what goes into to doing it at all. (For the record, I have absolutely no official connection to recruitment at UGA other than writing a few recs.) |

Now, if you moved recruitment further into the semester, you don't have that problem, but you have a host of others. |
It just seems like UGA is much less forthcoming with results than other comparable campuses like Auburn and Alabama. I am impressed by the fact that the post bid lists on bid day, and seem to maintain good stats over time.
|
Someone earlier mentioned having it later like Ole Miss. Well, there it falls during mid terms. So, hmm, recruitment party or study for mid term??????? And besides, they only have 9 groups there which makes for fewer parties anyway and shorter days....but it is still tough to do it during school and over 2 weekends....

And honestly, we're really only talking less forthcoming than two of the most open campuses in the country. |
Stalker!
while its fun to have the lists published-- isn't that kinda of free info for the stalkers? {shudder}

We were told at the parent meeting that bid day is on the first day of classes, because the school will not let the girls move into the dorms any earlier. It's just a timing thing. I know from my own daughter that having classes was a great distraction during the day. She told me that she even studied a little before going to the field.

Happily, my neighbor got her first choice. Congrats to Pi Phi for pledging her.
In other hometown news, all three sophomores got bids. That surprised and encouraged me. On the other hand, one of the group was dropped on 6 party day. Very surprising as she had lots going for her. |
A friend of mine now has a Kite and Key family. Her UGa daughter just pledged Theta down in Athens. :)

We're talking about backing it up one day so it's over before classes start? And they're saying that resident life is making the calls about when rush will be? |

Be careful what you wish for about having recruitment later. When I was in school at UGA we were on the quarter system and class didn't start to about Sept. 15th and we could never have rush during the Jewish holidays (this was late 1970's). So rush would sometimes start about 2 days AFTER CLASSES BEGIN and you went to classes all day had rush parties at night then had selection sessions to 2 or 4 am in the morning and then have to go to class the next day. Needless to say by the time rush was over you were already a week behind in your classes (not good for the academics). Having said that I like the way UVA does it and have rush before Winter Semester begins that way the girls are adjusted to college life and campus and maybe make better decisions. I'm sure there are other ladies on here that remember these times at UGA because it is true at that time you were given cards that told you what houses you were invited back to and then you decided where to go ( no ranking then). I had forgotten until someone mentioned it, but the houses you decided to cut you could regret or regret with interest which meant if you were cut out of rush you were still interested in those houses.

It was funny because her mom was a KD and her sister a Chi O. She turned down a bid from one of the houses at one school and dropped out at a second school after Gamma Phi had dropped her, even though she had both Chi O and KD left. She knew what she wanted though... |

This article from The Red and Black has a video of Bid Day....as you can see, the new pledges aren't the only ones excited for Bid Day! |
holler @ the picture of the delta gamma girls :) its the largest picture on the actual paper!
|
Just got word that of the three girls from my high school who are new Dawgs, two pledged Chi Omega, and one pledged Pi Phi!!
|
:):p Just found out that one of the girls from our local high school who I wrote a rec for pledged Gamma Phi Beta - YAY!! - as did another girl I did a rec for from Evans HS (she'd already made the cheerleading squad at UGA before she even started her freshman year at UGA?) Yay!!
:D |

Another result from UGA
An advisor from our UGA chapter just told me Tri Delta took quota of 58 plus 4 for a total of 62. She was very excited about the new members.
