Bumping for the upcoming recruitments....best of luck, ladies!!! :)

If any of you have any additions/corrections for this list, please let me know!

Go, Coastal Carolina University - best of luck with colonization!!!

I've chatted with a couple of alumnae of CCU, and they feel that having Alpha Delta Pi on campus is a HUGE plus!! It was so good to feel their excitement!

Susquehanna University (Gamma Omicron) also has their recruitment in spring- January 28-February 2

I just got an email. Baylor (Zeta Chi) took 51 women and are looking to add a few to that! Yeah for the Zeta Chi ladies and all of their hard work over the past 2 years.

Thanks for that update - a huge CONGRATULATIONS to the Zeta Chi ladies!!!

Zeta Chi took 52 alphas (not sure what quota was) and are now above total at 140!!!!! WOO HOO!! I'm sure they'll be relieved to not have to do COR! YEA and congrats to my wonderful Baylor sisters!!!

Rats! Here and I thought I was gonna break the good news!

Y'all got an amazing PC '07--I'm so happy for y'all!

Ahh, I'm sorry hon for not letting you break the news...but thanks for the congrats! How'd KD and everyone else do?

OMG that is awesome!!!! YAY Ladies!!!!!!!!!!

they could still COR to quota though, if they wanted to, right? I mean I'm sure they're pleased and probably want to take a recruitment break, but technically they're still entitled to quota even if they're above total and could potentially COR, if I'm interpreting the rules correctly?

either way, amazing, and I'm really excited for them! I remember helping at Fall parties before Spring 2005, it was quite different compared to what I was used to.

I was told that they plan on CORing up to quota. They had a list of women that they wanted and planned to go after. Lyrica, I was at those fall parties also. My how much they have grown since then! I'm so happy for them!!!

you were there? so we've possibly met? that's weird. but cool.

Yup, I was the alumna that spoke to the PNMs.

hey, i did meet you! i was one of the north texas girls that joined in on the skit. crazy!!

Eta Epsilon at Miami University took quota plus - 53 gorgeous new Alphas!

I'm not srue of the official number now, but I heard earlier today that Eta Chi, Villanova, pledged 10 Alphas! YAY ETA CHI!!:D :D

[sidenote] I went there to Preference to just help out - my first time as alum at anything and not as an advisor! I thought, "Oh so this is what the manuals mean by alum support at Recruitment!" :p

Any news from Vanderbilt?

Hi Sisters!

I didn't realize that Zeta Chi's recruitment results was such a hot topic on the board or I would have updated this earlier. Unfortunately, the recruitment stats given that are cut and pasted are sometimes outdated from old reports or have been incorrectly communicated from the chapters, and then those numbers are sent out from E.O. to specific people in the organization. I honestly don't like to post results, as this is an open forum and anyone from anywhere can read this, but in this case, the incorrect postings have caused some challenges on our campus with people not believing that we have done as well as we have. So, to correct this, here are our final recruitment results: we not only have achieved quota of 58, but also recruited the additional five junior spaces, which means we have 63 new members for this Spring, the maximum any chapter on our campus is allowed to recruit. We are very proud of our new members and the chapter as a whole for working so hard to achieve this success. Our alumnae have actually reserved an ad in the school paper to congratulate them on their multi-year achievement.

I am certainly not wanting to stir anything up as I know there was never an intention of doing harm, and I know that it is convenient to fill everyone in on what is happening all over the country in the easy cut and paste format that is on the recruitment stats reports, but as some of this information is not correct nor current, I know first hand that this causes rumors to be started on campuses, or people that might consider joining and then decide not to based on seeing the numbers on the site. And, if it happened at one campus, it certainly happens on others.

Not only is it tough when a chapter has done well and people don't realize it due to miscommunications, but also a chapter that might have done poorly in Formal Recruitment and are trying to COR can have additional challenges if people know just how far below quota they are. I agree that it is great to hear though of people from individual chapters who have first hand knowledge of recruitment results and get up to the minute COR progress, and I know we all love to hear and share in the successes of each chapter - I have no issue with that at all. I would just ask respectfully that we not share information unless we are positive it is correct and we respect privacy of statistics from documents that are not sent to everyone or posted on the open side of our organization's website. I would hope that we might consider refraining from passing on that info in open forums in the future now that we have had some challenges as a result.

I actually agree with ADPi1st&Finest.... I've felt this way for sometime. It's nice to see how things are going at chapters, but like ADPi1st&Finest mentioned, this can have adverse effects as some of the information may not be accurate, may create rumors and/or discourage women from joining if it appears the local chapter is having number issues.

I think a lot of this info is best kept on our other board... nudgenudge... because it is not a public forum.

I can stop posting the EO results (which are only as good as a chapter reports through the New Member Registration System) but that doesn't stop the discussions- are we suggesting to stop this thread completely so that chapters not doing as well in recruitment are not being publicized on here?

Honestly I'm not aware that even all sisters on this board go and check the private ADPi website message boards- if the results were placed there, will sisters from here check there?

I certainly want us to celebrate the successes - so maybe a happy medium would be to post the results if you see they have matched quota or maybe those active with the particular chapters could share their successes on an individual basis. The issue we had experienced was the results showing on the report were over 20 alphas fewer than the numbers we actually had, which was great fodder for rumors. I really appreciate the consideration on this, I really am not trying at all to be difficult and I as much as anyone want to cheer along when ADPi does well on any campus!

I actually do wish more people would log onto to the private side of our ADPi website - it has great info and would remind people to update addresses and info more timely - that would save chapters a ton of money too when it is time for newsletters to go out and 50+ get returned each time due to out of date info on alums! Plus they have good discussions on those boards too!

I do not mind holding the discussion elsewhere - I know that we can only control what we put out to the public.

I'd say let's continue the discussion elsewhere :), and whatever we agree with, that's the way we go about it.

Just want to add my 2 cents :D

I don't see anything wrong with adpideltaup posting the EO results. Obviously they aren't perfect, but they are more accurate then random people or sisters coming on and saying "hey this chapter made quota" or "hey this chapter got such and such number", when it isn't accurate information.

People want to know the results and they are going to find out one way or another. I'd much rather have the EO results.

I also wanted to address a few comments....

As for the rumors that might circulate because the wrong information is put on the net about numbers and girls not wanting to join our house because of it. Unfortunately that is a fact of life (rumors) and if a PNM wants to narrowmindedly believe a rumor, then do we really want that person as a sister in the first place?

And as for Pride Online, I am a registered user, but unless I come on greekchat and say "the lion is roaring", I don't get the responses that greekchat gives me. I mean if it is a question or comment that I feel isn't suitable for a public forum I got to PO, but otherwise you get faster "results" (so to speak) on greekchat. That's why I rarely use pride online.

But whatever the general consensus is and what the mod's decide, I'll go with :D

The stats that come from EO go to a certain email list only. They are not intended for the public. If EO wants something to be public, they can issue a press release or put it on the public side of our web site.

Actually it can also be placed on the private side of our ADPi website- I'll speak to the Technology Committee about this and see about putting them there officially. Then members only could go and see them but interested alumnae can find them too. That was the main reason- for getting alumnae back interested in what's going on with their chapter- or sometimes this was the only way that an alum has heard about their chapter... and maybe this will get more people using the Pride Online side of the ADPi website :)

I don't know, IMHO I think there are other things to be making a big deal about than recruitment numbers being off.

ABC posts the recruitment results and says chapter XY made quota of 15. DEF goes to the school and knows that they actually made quota plus 5, so 20. This is the conversation that ensues...

DEF: ABC the numbers a off a bit, we actually made quota plus 5
ABC: Sorry about that I'll edit the post :D
DEF: It's all good


adpideltaup has been posting the recruitment results since September 06 and no one has had an issue until now and it's only because 1 chapters numbers were incorrect.

Seriously, no one's had an issue until now. In fact, every seemed to be enjoying getting the results.

I'm sure I'll get screamed at, yelled at, nasty pm's sent to me. Bring it on. I just feel there are others things for us to be worrying about than this.


Let's worry about keeping sisters active after college. Let's worry about getting alums involved with philanthropy activities (yeah any advice on that one I could sure use it). Let's worry about getting alums to pay remember dues. Let's worry about getting money, supplies donated to Ronald Mcdonald House.

These are things to worry about, not if recruitment numbers are off by accident.

Like I said earlier, if a PNM wants to believe that a chapter is "too small" for their liking, then let them. We can't control their thoughts. But then like I said, think about if you want someone who believes rumors to be a sister.

I actually agree with you 100%.

That is soooo awesome!!! have these girls been initiated yet? Do y'all need alumna help with that??
