Updated tonight based on the Member e-News email from National Office.
Only 10 chapters to go!

Alpha Psi has deferred recruitment; we shouldn't have official numbers for them until January. The 33 is from informal.

Crashing, but this is the second giant number I've seen at Kutztown (I think AST's numbers were similarly high). What on earth is going on there?? I mean giant numbers are good but this is beyond anything I've ever seen at a PASSHE school (including IUP or West Chester), especially in this day & age.

Some updates you're missing...

Epsilon: 48

Alpha Eta: 8
Alpha Mu: 45
Alpha Pi: 12

Beta Nu: 66
Beta Chi: 12

Gamma Alpha: 16


The following chapters do deferred recruitment, so posted numbers are premature:

Chi

Alpha Upsilon
Alpha Psi

Beta Beta
Beta Gamma
Beta Delta
Beta Sigma

Gamma Delta
Gamma Mu
Gamma Nu

recruitment update
 

Epsilon 47
Alpha Mu 45

I'm not sure if Zeta counts, since they're still a colony, but 56 is nothing to sneeze at! :cool:


Upcoming recruitment dates to get excited for, in order of bid days:

Chi: January 11th-16th
Gamma Nu: January 14th-17th
Beta Delta: January 14th-21st
Gamma Mu: January 12th-28th
Alpha Psi: January 26th-February ??
Beta Gamma: February 1st-10th
Alpha Upsilon: January 30th-February 12th
Beta Sigma: February 9th-12th
Gamma Delta: February 6th-13th
Beta Beta: February 4th-14th

Our recruitment year will be wrapped up by Valentine's Day! :D

Isn't Beta Nu also doing deferred?

Nope, FAU had their recruitment September 7th-11th, with Sigma Kappa's recruitment shortly after.

I guess the TPA's I know over there aren't sure what they are doing then.

Sigma Kappa coming in really hurt their quotas I heard. Girls dropped then tried Sigma Kappa.

Crashing....

You're not allowed to do that without a wait of a calendar year. Girls could have tried Sigma Kappa, dropped, and then gotten a bid from an established sorority since SK is a colony, but not the other way around.

If this really has been happening, your school's Greek Life office needs to put a stop to it or get their heads out of their asses.

I'm not fully understanding of it at all. Perhaps it was they didn't accept bids because SK was coming in and they didn't like any of the bids obtained.

If they received a bid during formal rush through bid matching, they are bound to the sorority they matched with for a year. A colony coming in does not override that.

Do you mean they didn't like any of their preference invites, and so dropped out to try for SK? That could certainly happen.

That's what I was assuming happened as well. That would certainly affect quota as well.

You are describing people dropping out of recruitment and quotas and the like. Those are formal recruitment terms. (I'm assuming those are the terms the Theta Phis with whom you're friends are using, and that's where you picked them up.) If they're having recruitment in spring because they're not at total, it's informal recruitment, not deferred.

Thanks for that explanation. I was not sure exactly what deferred meant, and neither did the person I asked who said they were doing Spring Recruitment.

Gotcha. In deferred recruitment, chapters who are under total do informal recruitment in the fall, usually with potential new members required to be in at least their second semester (no incoming freshmen), and formal recruitment (where all chapters participate) is deferred until spring.

I think the list is all up to date now.

41 for Chi at Creighton

I'm pleased to share that Beta Delta took 13 baby penguins today!!!

Whoop whoop! Any pictures posted yet?

Gamma Nu @ Rockhurst took 18!

Alpha Psi's recruitment at University of Dayton ended January 30th and they took 21. Still haven't seen anything from Gamma Mu/Clarkson.

Gamma Mu-10

Beta Sigma took 22 in formal recruitment (quota + 3)!

Zeta took in 60 mid January. ( quota + 5) we're incredibly proud of our first formal recruitment!

I've got...
Beta Gamma - 23
Alpha Upsilon (IU @ Penn) - 5

Not sure about the last two:
Gamma Delta (Rowan)
Beta Beta (College of New Jersey)

Not to be picky but it's Indiana University of Pennsylvania, or IUP. IU @ Penn implies that it has something to do with Indiana University in Bloomington and/or the University of Pennsylvania, which it doesn't.
