I think the problem here is the word "issued." That's a weird way to put it and sounds more like something conducive to fraternity rush. It's very doubtful in a Panhellenic rush that all bids issued could ever be accepted - because theoretically, the multiple bid lists (which go far over quota) are bids that have been "issued."

OK, I thought maybe I had inadvertently typed something seriously wrong / misleading, but here are a couple of quotes (“Larsson” is the Panhellenic officer) from the article, which you can check out at:
http://www-tech.mit.edu/V127/N36/panhel.html

“Every person who received a bid accepted it, and everyone who completed recruitment received a bid, Larsson said.”

“A total of 312 women registered at the start of recruitment, Larsson said, meaning 149 left recruitment before completing it.”

If GCers determine that what I posted earlier was all effdup, I apologize.

I could be way off, but I read that as AEPhi bid matched with one woman and that bid was issued to her and accepted. I'm sure they had more on their bid list, but unfortunately did not match up.

AZ State - Quota was 48, Delta Zeta pledged 52.

The University of Houston's bid day is tomorrow and i will try and get all the numbers after Bid Day. It has been an exciting week to say the least.

16 beautiful girls accepted bids yesterday to the Alpha Gamma Delta - Delta Sigma Chapter (Hawaii)!

As you know, the chapter does not participate in formal recruitment because it is the only NPC on campus, so quota does not apply. There's a possibility that two more girls will accept bids before New Member Service next week!

Congrats!

Alpha Phi had a very successful recruitment this year at the University of Central Missouri; they got quota of 14 plus 1 addition for a total of 15.

Everyone was talking about how well Alpha Phi did. Our women were getting compliments from everyone in the greek community on their success. They were the talk of the town in recruitment this year!:):D

Results of others on our campus:
Alpha Sigma Alpha Q 14 plus 1
Sigma Kappa Q 14 plus 1
Sigma Sigma Sigma Q 14 plus 1
Alpha Omicron Pi Q 14
Alpha Gamma Delta 11
Delta Zeta 8 (they usually make quota)

The entire list from Page One was copied and pasted at HPRL.

How convenient. :rolleyes: Can't they get their own material without having to steal everything from GC?

ETA: irishpipes, is that a Lyre on your HPRL avatar? I thought you're an AOPi?

What is HPRL?

Happy Pony Rainbow Land . . .
 

. . . founded by Happy Lambchop Butt!:) (obviously, an inside joke - sorry!)

That isn't a lyre. It is a harp, and that is the original flag of Ireland, before the tri-colored flag was adopted as a compromise between the Catholics and Protestants.

Ahh...gotcha! I obviously don't know the difference between a harp and lyre. :(

I think a lyre is basically a hand-held harp - easily confused when there is no perspective. Irish people would recognize that as the flag though (because of the green background), if they are into Irish history at all.

Thanks for the report, Jocelyn. Congratulations to Sigma Sigma Sigma

ETA: The harp is still the official symbol of Ireland. Lots of people think it's the shamrock, but it's the harp. Just so you know. I'm sure you couldn't have lived without that information.

Generally... Harps are shaped like a fancy D and lyres are symetrical.:)

You have truly made my life complete with this information. :p

I do what I can.

:D

Thanks for the link OTW - I hadn't followed that thread (way too long) and had no idea about the background information. Hmmm...

Useless facts about Ireland
 

. . .the colour of the flag of Dublin is blue,not green, with the harp.

I didn't know Dublin had a flag (not a Dubliner). My people are from the south and west (Clare, Mayo, Tipperary mostly.)

And I can hijack my own thread if I want to.
