Big fan of the SEC!!!:)

Go Hogs! Arkansas recruitment begins Tues 18th.

thanks tsteven for starting this thread.

Thank you for this thread. Know a few girls (friends of my sister) who are going thru at UF. Best of luck to everyone!

Wow! Busy week in the NPC world :)

:D War Eagle! Wooo Pig Sooie! Hail State!

I'll be going through SEC recruitment, wish me luck! :D

UGA girls start today, good luck to all the PNMs.

good luck marigold!

As does State.

Yeah! I wrote recs for PNMs going through at Alabama, Florida, TN, and Ole Miss this year!

You have been busy!^^ (good luck to your PNMs)

I'm doing rush at FSU, but I know many girls going through rush at UF and one of my best friends is doing it at LSU :D Good luck girls <3

Busy day tomorrow on the SEC calendar. Auburn's and Mississippi State's bid day is tomorrow while Kentucky, Louisiana State and Tennessee begin the fun and games.

Woo Pig Sooie sure gets to me, go hogs go.

btw, anyone got Arkansas' guys rush numbers this year? This is my first year as an alumni. Kinda sad.

i thought i saw a touch of grey about the temples, elephant walk. you're getting old!

Far too old.

Geaux Tigers!!!! My biological little sister will be a sophomore at LSU this year but not rushing. :( Good luck to all SEC PNMs and everyone else related to an SEC PNM in some way!!!!

Lane swerving question:

Aside from Mississippi and Vanderbilt, does this mean freshmen become new members before classes even start? Or do classes start earlier in the south?

Kentucky does sorority recruitment the week before school starts.

Yep.

Although we moved ours forward for awhile..I kind of think ours is in between school starting and before school, but I could be wrong.

Recap
 

Three SEC recruitments completed over the weekend (Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State); one bid day today (Georgia); three in progress (Kentucky, Louisiana State, Tennessee); two start today (Florida, South Carolina); and one tomorrow (Arkansas).

I'm not sure about the total amount of PNMs at UF but my little sister already called me on her lunch break to tell me about the first of her day. Also, while moving her in yesterday I saw alot of girls with the buttons that tell that they are PNMs oh and UF gave out these adorable water bottles too, the gator is made up of greek letters. Anyway I was contemplating stealing my sisters but I dont like it that much to betray my canes :).

I can't believe ours is the latest. (well, I suppose besides Vandy)

After Arkansas, there are two more to go. Ole Miss starts September 20th with Vandy's formal in January. I think most of the SEC schools' fall recruitment - with the exception of Ole Miss and of course Vandy - is prior to the start of classes. Has Arkansas stated classes yet?

Nope, classes start the 24th!

Busy weekend in the SEC. Bid day is today for Kentucky, tomorrow for Arkansas and Louisiana State and Sunday for Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

Good luck! Go Florida!

Quota at South Carolina was 87 (76 freshmen and 11 upperclassmen) and Kappa Kappa Gamma will welcome 88 New Members at Bid Day today!!!!!!!

I am so proud of those Kappa Ladies!!

Quota at Arkansas was 68. AOII took 80, not sure of anyone else.

Quota at UF was 49 today and Sigma Kappa took in 55 new sisters.

As mentioned on the Arkansas thread, everyone hit 80 except for one.

Strong showing for all.
