a terrific recruitment

AWESOME!!

Congrats!!!!

YAY! Congratulations to you guys.

Did the chapter that missed quota miss by a little or a lot?

How did the AZD chapter do?

I'm curious as to how Tri Sigma did as well. :)

My old chapter missed quota by a few. They had a great recruitment and got a lot of quality girls. They went for quality over quantity this year :) We usually do really well with COB, and I think they're expecting to be at quota within a week or two. For some reason, I heard they didn't allow snap bidding this year. It's been a different year because there have been lots of changes with the new Greek Life director.

Quota was also much lower than usual due to fewer women going through recruitment and the addition of Delta Delta Delta.

Overall it was a great week for everyone :)

I've always loved our AXO chapter. They always recruit awesome girls :).

All chapters at Elon did very well. Panhellenic cut out Skit Day, and switched to a no frills recruitment this year. They also raised the GPA cutoff from a 2.35 to a 2.75. I think the new GPA cutoff is what reduced quota this year.

WOO HOO to my AOII's at Elon!! And congrats to everyone else. Its a GREAT greek life experience there and I am so glad for everyone that gets to be a part of it! I LOVED my years as an Elon AOII!!

I heard that Elon had a great year and everyone got quality girls! Even though quota was lower than normal, everyone did very well!
Special congrats to my Alpha Xis!!!

skit day
 

i think its such a shame when skit day is eliminated. it is such a fun ,interesting way to convey a lot of information in a short period of time.

Re: skit day
 

I agree. They still sang songs, had slideshows, etc. but I heard it was torture if you picked up a PNM that didn't want to talk!

Is this permissible under NPC rules?? :confused:

I don't know. I know they are COBing, but I don't know why they wouldn't allow snap bidding. Tammy, did they explain it to you?

I don't know what the situation was at Elon this year but sometimes there is not enough time between bid matching and bid day to allow for snap bidding.

Thanks Sharon, I love how you just expect me to be on GC all day just waiting for something to respond to. :p Actually, I never heard anything about them not allowing snap bidding. But even though I did get to keep time for a couple of icebreaker rounds, they certainly did not trust me with any of that important information.

What bruinaphi said about not having time is probably pretty accurate. We had a significant snow/ice storm (significant for NC) during pref and there were rumors about pushing back bid day. I think it could be very possible that they did not start bid matching as early as they would have if it had not stormed and therefore did not have as much or any time for snap bids.

What I do know is that all of the girls that did receive bids were high quality women who met all of our membership standards. They were girls that we wanted. We did not extend bids to girls who did not meet the standards just for the sake of numbers. The chapter has already begun to COB and I hear that we have offered several bids to high quality women who did not participate in formal recruitment.

At the end of the day, my chapter and all of the others at Elon worked hard, looked cute, and will continue to do so this semester.
