Thanks for the info! I know that 4 girls from my sister's dance team are going through recruitment at UA.

Beautiful view of the Greek Theatre!

Aiiieee! Back in the day, the only view behind the Greek Theater consisted of trees and the beat-up old apartments for married students. This looks like it's in a big city!

What a joy to watch!

Placement
 

It was announced 1451 women received bids. Quota should be well over 100 again.

Are they doing staggered quotas again this year?

Yes they did but I heard that this will be the last year for it.

Do you have #s for the staggered quotas?

I'm looking
 

and as soon as I can find that info will update asap. I heard various girls talking different numbers but wouldn't swear on them as my memories from Saturday are a bit fuzzy. I want to say XO was 125ish. AOPi was 135 ish. I believe Phi Mu was a little larger. Sorry, will update as soon as I have numbers!

I saw KKG - 132, PBP - 133 and ADPi 165

I was way off on AOPi. 166 for new pledge class. Still looking for source I can link for others.

What's staggered quotas?

There is a large size discrepancy between two groups of sororities at Arkansas. There are 6 chapters that have about 100 more members than the other 4. Panhellenic is trying to equalize by having a smaller quota (roughly 125) for the larger chapters, and a larger quota (around 160) for the smaller chapters. Keep in mind even the smaller chapters have over 300 members.

Thanks irishpipes. That's more straight forward than I figured. I love that Panhel is doing this and that the chapters (I'm assuming) agreed to it. :)

Arkansas XO = 127.

Just so Arkansas doesn't become the next Big Six Campus (think Texas).

It's a "Big 4" right now, but I digress...
