It's time to start the Fall 2010 recruitment results thread! The chapters in maroon have a fall formal recruitment.

Yay you're awesome!

Yay!! I've been hoping to see one of these threads for Sigma Kappa! I can't wait to see the results!

Thanks for doing this!

I'm hoping you can keep me up to date on our chapter, perfectinpurple. I don't live anywhere close to school, so I have to live vicariously through any info I can gain online. :)
AU (Theta Xi), I counted 58.

No problem! I will happily be posting some results when the time comes (September 13th.... so far away!)

I'll be helping out with Gamma Tau's recruitment, so I'll post results when we get them. Recruitment at MSU is happening 9/1 - 9/5, so it'll be soon. I'm really excited to be a part of welcoming new sisters!

Zeta Omicron at Arizona got 73 new baby doves. :D Not sure what quota was though. Great job ladies!

Beta Tau chapter of Sigma Kappa at UF took 63 beautiful new members!

Recruitment results
 

Epsilon Epsilon at UGA took 62 including upper class quota and Kappa Pi at Clemson pledged 55 in their second formal recruitment after colonizing there.

Alpha Theta (University of Louisville)- 31 (quota was 27)!

Small chapter news: Gamma Tau took 16 Baby Doves! (Quota was 14)

Bump for any new ones...? Perfectinpurple, tomorrow! I'm so excited for you all!!

Thanks UofISigKap!!! I'm really excited too!! We had some amazing girls at pref today...

I do know a few girls at other Illinois chapters.... I'll have to bother them and get some results if I can.

Eta (wesleyan) got 25 awesome new girls! (quota was 23)

Wooohoo!!!

Theta Chapter took 48 new baby doves!!

theta eta at Unlv got quota +3 , 53 amazing beautiful girls :) this is the most we've ever taken and now the chapter is well over 115 sisters in the chapter. there theme was "love the dove" and on the back "stay fly. sigma kappa bid day 2010" I'll try to post pictures when I get home from work:)

Kappa Beta took 32! It was the school's largest recruitment EVER and a colony is starting recruitment next week!

I believe Alpha Gamma took 35. My understanding is that was quota.

Beta Zeta at the University of Maryland matched quota of 42 today. Quota is literally double what it was when I was there from 2004-2007 (22, 23, 21, 22)! It steadily increased to the higher 20s in the past couple years, but just last year it was 32, so it's over a 30% increase in just one year!

ETA: Spring '11s after their Pledging Ceremony.

That's great news! Way to go Beta Zeta!

Sorry to lane swerve but WOW. 42? That is crazy! Quota was NEVER over anything but 20ish during my time at Maryland. I think the highest was only ever 22 maybe, and it was only 17 in 2000! What a huge jump! I'm glad that greek life seems to be thriving. I guess gone are the days of everyone participating in informal. I wonder if Maryland is going to start thinking extension soon?

I would hope so. If quota stays around 40, most chapter houses are not equipped to handle a chapter of 160ish! I would much rather another chapter be added than significantly raising total. We already have to hold Initiation at Stamp, but if our chapter was that big, we'd have to hold chapter meetings in there too!

However, PHA is kind of in a bind. Alpha Phi and Phi Sig are going to begin massive renovations on their chapter houses after this semester, so they'll have their exec boards in the AXiD house. If the renovations only take 1 year, Fall 2012 would be the earliest conceivable time for a chapter to begin colonization. In the mean time, I wonder if they'll raise total. If they do begin extension earlier, Alpha Phi and Phi Sig will not be at a disadvantage to compete with a colony, even if they don't have a house, though it might be awkward if AXiD is chosen and they're colonizing while women from other chapters are living in their house. Then again, colonies generally don't have their members move in to the house until their second year.

I was thinking about just this yesterday LOL! I was Ritual Chair for 2 terms and I was trying to wrap my brain around the logistics of holding the initiation of a 40 woman new member class WITH all the chapter members present in our house. I DO hope extension happens soon. I think the Row chapters are especially at a disadvantage with new member/chapter sizes going up SOOO much. The row houses DEF are not as spacious as some of the others and I am pretty sure have less capacity as far as housing goes, and trying to have a 160 person chapter meeting in one of our houses, I just can't imagine that.

I think that because last Fall, only 6 of 14 chapters could participate in informal recruitment (of those 6, 4 could take 10 or fewer NMs), the culture changed at Maryland. PNMs are getting the message that formal recruitment is the time to join, that they can't just suicide/drop out if they don't like the chapters they have left and try again in the fall. Although interest has certainly increased, it hasn't doubled, since every chapter used to participate in informal recruitment in the fall (taking NM classes of 10-12 on average).

I'm really glad this has happened, and I suppose with even bigger NM classes this year, fewer are probably going to do informal next fall. I honestly think that's best for everyone. It will give the chapters more time to focus on other things than recruiting a NM class, getting them through NM period and such. But anyway, I am going to back off now so I don't totally monopolize your thread here! You can PM me if you want :)
