Possible Recruitment Numbers for NPC Chapters in 2012
 

Last year there were record numbers of possible new members at many campuses across the country who registered for sorority recruitment. I think it has been written there are already 1400 women registered at Univ. of Georgia.

Does anyone know how many are expected to register this year at Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Auburn, Texas, Florida, Florida State or Mississippi? It would be interesting to see if more records will be broken in 2012.

As I just posted in the Bama thread, as of today 1,516 PNM's have registered for recruitment already; I know someone mentioned that the number that go through recruitment is expected to be about 2,000

Arkansas expects 1500 PNMs, and told the 8 current chapters to expect quota of 150. Looking forward to Alpha Chi and Phi Mu getting on campus this fall to help lower quota!!

Where can you find out how many people are registered? I'd like to find out for my school as well.

Sometimes the school's Panhellenic will post on their website or on their Facebook page.
Otherwise, you have to have access to ICS.

Alabama
 

AnchorAlumna posted tonight over 1600 women have registered for University of Alabama NPC recruitment.

Arkansas
 

Another large number was posted. So far at the University of Arkansas 1200 have registered for recruitment.

I put this in another thread before I saw this one but rumor is that Texas expects 1300 or more. That will be amazing. I do know the number of girls signed up through alumnae panhellenics in Houston and Dallas are higher than in recent memory so it is promising.

I just heard today that Alabama has added another day of recruitment to accommodate a record number of girls.

Texas and Texas Tech have also added an extra Open House day due to the large numbers last year. I know at Texas, they were having to add extra parties onto the schedule each day which was exhausting for the girls...but exciting!
I know that there are considerably more girls coming through from my daughter's high school than in the past two years. There is definitley an upward trend again this year.

I love hearing about record recruitment numbers at every school but Indiana. I shudder at the thought of record recruitment numbers there! (however the previous few years numbers have been increasing...)

Quota last year at S. Carolina was 108. So glad that AGD will be a colony this year. Pledge classes seem to be getting larger all over the SEC.

As we all know, the problem with Indiana is that even though more women may register for recruitment, the number placed does not go up. The addition of Alpha Sigma Alpha will help the situation a little, but bed quota is bed quota....hence the issue. As far as I know, there isn't a chapter slated to be added in 2013 since Tri Sigma declined.

Have heard that Ok State, Texas A&M and UNT all have more registered this year than last year.

I think it is so exciting to see Greek Life growing at so many schools!

arrowlady - that is exciting! Any numbers for those three schools?

Oklahoma State has added an extra day this this year, and moved check-in to Gallagher-Iba arena, due to the expected increase in registrants. Last year, over 800 girls participated. My daughter has been told that OSU is expecting between 1200-1500 (Yikes!) for rush. Registration ends tomorrow, so they should have final numbers soon. I have seen the schedule of events and it looks brutal, many 12 hour days, my daughter can't wait. Work week starts in two weeks!

Last week I was told OSU had around 900 registered already. I don't know for sure on UNT, but was told A&M was expecting 900 to 1000, and UT around 1300+

OSU Panhellenic reported 881 registered as of close of registration last Friday. (via twitter)

Anyone know what quota is/will be at UGA?

Ordinarily quota is set after either the pref. parties are over, or after the bid cards are signed.

Oh, okay. I was more asking for a guess than a hard number. Does anyone know what it was on average last year? I think it'll probably be close to last year's considering the amount of girls rushing.

Does anyone know about how many girls are registered as of now for UGA recruitment? Around the same as last year?

Possible Number for University of Southern California
 

I was told from an unofficial source USC was expecting between 800-900 women to register for recruitment in August.http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r...n/USC-3LIB.jpgThe historic Doheny Library on the USC campus in Los Angeles.

800-9000? That's quite a range.

Recruitment numbers at the University of Arizona are down from past years. With the deadline for registration approaching (August 1st), there are more than 800 women registered thus far. Conservative estimate is that there may be 1000 PNMs, but that number is subject to change, depending on what happens in the next week or so. There may be a flurry of late registrants. Who knows?

Fingers crossed that total will drop! We would prefer to have smaller New Member classes; 80+ NMS is challenging. My hat is off to the "mega chapters" who handle 100+ NMs.

...Number corrected.;)

I hope some organizations are looking at Alabama. Delta Gamma has done phenomenally well, and it seems with so much interest in Greek life, other organizations would also do very well. With 2000 women going through recruitment and only 17 GLOs, there are bound to be some disappointed young women.

Alabama now has just over 1,800 young women registered for recruitment. I don't expect a huge amount to be added - possibly 100 to 150.

After many years, this fall Sigma Delta Tau will again have a house, although not on sorority row. They'll be across campus on what's known as "New Fraternity Row." I'm sure they're very excited about having their own place again! And with three now-housed chapters moving into their own new homes in the next year, who knows - SDT may be back on sorority row very soon, and back participating in formal recruitment!

I feel like the situation at Texas is very similar. Although, I know that the UPC advisor will not allow any new GLOs until we "fix the problems we already have". Unfortunately, that is hurting the close to 1500 girls who are going through recruitment when there are only 14 houses and this year quota is expected to be about 65-70.

Why are "there bound to be some disappointed young women?" If they go in knowing that they meet the requirements (grades, activities, recs, etc) and they have an OPEN mind, they should be placed no matter if there are 5 groups or 15.

This with whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry.

It could be appearance or, more likely, personality but some women are just not gonna fit into a chapter, any chapter. Hopefully those are dropped early on in the process.

Very few. At most schools.

So far 844 are registered at Texas. This is MUCH less than expected!

Yeah but everyone knows that Pi Delta Pi only takes the prettiest and most popular girls!

Unfortunately we have to deal with all those annoying panty raids
