SPRING RUSH AT ALABAMA??
 
Does anyone know if the University of Alabama participates in a Spring Rush? Do all of the sororities participate? Does AOII participate?

Thank you

KSUViolet06 09-11-2007 02:30 PM
Spring recruitment would depend on how many of the chapters were not at total after fall recruitment. Be aware that at a school like Bama, there may be chapters that are under total but choose not to do spring recruitment for whatever reason. The Bama Greek Life office would be your best source of info (even though I don't think they'd have that info until spring).

PenguinTrax 09-11-2007 02:30 PM
Only chapters that are below campus total would participate in Spring Recruitment. Until the list of returning members is created in January, there's no way of knowing who, if anyone, would be holding spring COB events. I think all houses are currently at or over total right now.

Campus total is 180 and the AOII chapter currently has 222 members, so they wouldn't be participating in Spring rush.

Alabama has never, to my knowledge, done a campus-wide spring rush. A few groups may be doing Continuous Open Bidding at that time, but you would have to check in the Panhellenic office for info around the middle of January.

Alabama does a very informal spring recruitment. It's basically a meet and greet at the Ferg (student union). Spring recruitment is NOTHING like Fall. Like others said, only those chapters under house total are allowed to participate. Last year 4 or 5 chapters participated and roughly 70 girls registered. I think about 30 bids or so were distributed. The year before last only 2 chapters participated and no girls recieved bids. It just varies on how many chapters are allowed to take girls and how many girls are interested.

The big difference maker last year was the bump in house total. House total is now 180, the year before it was 140 and the year before that 125. I doubt house total will go up this year because that only hurts the chapters below total because they can't catch up. Also, with extension in the near future for UA as many chapters as possible need to be at total.

I would suggest that your daughter (I'm assuming your daughter is looking at recruitment) wait until fall to participate just so she has the most options. With the possible addition of 2 (maybe) chapters and the current 15 NPC houses on campus, your daughter will surely find her place. But if she is just dying to join a house now, encourage her to attend COR events with chapters that are currently under total so that she can get a real sense of the chapter since the Spring "meet and greet" recruitment process can leave something to be desired in the way of meeting and learning about the women of a chapter.

Thank you for all of the info. My daughter is already an AOII (ergo my name AOII BAMA MOM : ) ) I was a Tri Delta at the University of Georgia and back in my day--all sororities participated in what was called a winter rush and began in January--of course the numbers were smaller back then. Anyway my daughter has a friend that lives in her dorm who dropped out during Fall rush. This girl wants to be an AOII badly....but it sounds like AOII with a house total of over 200 would not be allowed to participate. I will recommend that her friend wait until next Fall when she is a sophomore. Thank you for your help. Have you ever heard of a sorority offering a bid to someone even though they filled their quota?

The only way they could offer a bid if they filled quota is if filling quota still didn't put them at campus total, and that isn't the case here.

NO. A sorority CANNOT offer bids after they've met quota and total.

Here's the thing....
I was OK with ignoring the Helicopter parents...I'm a parent myself, I can sympathize a little...but you're now helicoptering YOUR DAUGHTER'S FRIEND??? WHAT.THE.EFF.???

The questions you asked us should have been asked BY YOUR DAUGHTER to her sorority's MEMBERSHIP CHAIR...not by YOU on GREEKCHAT.

By the way... you WERE a Tri Delta??? Did you turn in your pin?

ETA: I realize I was harsh, and I'm sorry...but AOII BAMA MOM, have you not read ANYTHING else on here? The boards have not been favorable this year to moms who are spoon feeding their daughters and living vicariously.

Then someone comes along and pokes a hole in my fragile little dam.

Damn.

SOOOooo, like if she were just a random somebody with no kid in a sorority she could ask this question and you would be OK with it? Sheesh! Give us a break!

I am of the opinion that anybody ought to be able to ask an innocent question around here and not find feet in their throats!

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be asking this question if she didn't have a kid in a sorority so your hypothetical is entirely irrelevant.
As for your opinion-sorry, GC is not happy ponies and rainbows land. People here are snarky (sometimes unnecessarily, I'll grant you that) and I like the sass. It keeps me interested and makes me laugh. What an innocent question is to you isn't always to other people.

Actually, yes...if she was some random person, and GC was her best source for info, I wouldn't think twice about it. Besides, some random person is probably either a)a PNM who doesn't have an "in", or b) completely 100% hypothetical, because I doubt we have too many random people without daughters (or sons) who come here to ask questions about Greeklife.

I am of the opinion that people shouldn't ask questions of random people on TEH INTARWEBZ that they could easily find out directly from the source. If these girls are old enough to have made it into college, they are old enough to find out the answers themselves.

Helicopter1 09-12-2007 01:23 PM
There it goes......my argument, my poor little argument.....

Thanks, a lot, AOPMOM.

Seriously--I realize you're probably just trying to help.

I've learned three new things here:

Alpha Frog is not so bad.

No good deed goes unpunished.

And..

Ask'em to walk a mile in your shoes, and they're a mile away--with YOUR shoes.

I'd insert some smileys, but I just can't bring myself to touch them.

SECMom 09-12-2007 01:26 PM
I've been on this board for over a year and frankly I find some of the "snarkiness" amusing also, but this has gotten ridiculous. Whether or not you find my example relevant is immaterial. The woman asked a question. Stupider questions have been asked. My point is that if she had not been a parent she would not have elicited (sp?) the response that she did. Alpha Frog has the Gift of Snark, no doubt, but enough is enough. Helicopter parents annoy me as well, and believe me I know all about them, but to be that accusatory over an innocent question was uncalled for.

I also have a question regarding the whole rush ordeal at Bama this year....has to do with AOPi also....neither of my girls are AOPis, this is about a local girl..but I will keep my mouth shut...not fond of frog toes.:rolleyes:

You're right about these girls being old enough to find out the answers themselves.

But, In defense of the OP ( :eek: )...

If her daughter is a new member, she might still be so overwhelmed with NM stuff that she doesn't know who to ask. Or, she might secretly not want her friend to be in AOII, and so she doesn't really want to ask (so she puts her mom up to it in a pseudo-anonymous kind of way). Or, maybe neither of these is right, and I'm giving the OP too much credit. We'll never know.

Helicopter1 09-12-2007 01:57 PM
SECMom, pretty please--what is your question about Bama's rush?

And what if they have a couple drop out of their new member class before initiation?

That still wouldn't make any difference. AOPi currently has more than 200 members, and house total is 180.

Low C Sharp 09-12-2007 04:05 PM
SECMom, I'm with you. Ultimately, everybody here who obeys the TOS has a right to post whatever they want, even if it's snarky, but I'd be happy to see a little more patience with newbies.

It's striking to me that on this board, a mild insult to a CHAPTER merits a quick and universal smackdown, but yelling insults at a fellow poster is so common. I'm much less bothered by someone's opinion that the Mu Nus at Illinois are stuck-up than I am by being yelled at, and that would still be true even if I'd been an Illinois Mu Nu.

222 members?! All I can say is WOW!!!! Numbers wise, AOPi was a mid-level Panhellenic sorority last year! I wonder if real soon the percent of Alabama undergraduate females in a sorority will be at the late-1980's numbers of a third or even higher?!! Also, I wonder if A Chi O and Kappa Delta are now more than 250 members and if Pi Beta Phi with around 165 members last year is now 200 or more?! Definitely at most schools, if you asked sororities if they could get those numbers, they'd throw their heads back, let out a loud quick laugh, and say "In your DREAMS, babe!" And keep on laughing!

Seriously, Bama' Panhellenic has MUCH to be proud of!!

I think I understand what you are saying, but the insults to the chapter in recruitment threads are taken pretty seriously because they are kind of a stupid course of action. If you don't know where you will end up with a bid, it's not smart to bust on any chapters in your 1st round reviews. Why start publicly writing off groups who might end up being your only options later?

I would like us to be a lot kinder to new posters and not be so quick to second guess their motivation. I think it's fine to ask questions simply because you are curious about how stuff works even if there's no need to know. I think it's fine to ask even if there was a thread about the same topic in 2004.

I do however think that second guessing heli-parents may be doing society a service because maybe the ones who really are hovering too much will stop and think about why they assume their children are too crippled themselves to perform basic tasks. And normal parents will have a good reason for asking, so it really shouldn't bother them. But this is a policy I'd like to see in real life too, not just Greek Chat policy.

Well, unless we all become psychic second-guessing will be just that, second-guessing. It could be that the OP thought up her question all by herself. AND, it could also be that she is NOT a heli-parent. This is the internet, you just don't know. Which is why I feel like attacking people because we think that they just might adhere to a style of parenting that we disapprove of (especially those of us who haven't been at the whole parenting thing very long....). As a matter of fact, if someone is a heli-parent, they are likely to think that YOU are wrong and your opinion of them isnt' going to change a darn thing. I learned this by experience...;)

Let's just all play nice.........

UGAalum94 09-12-2007 06:41 PM
Oh, I don't advocate doing it rudely.

For example, in this thread, rather than the language that AlphaFrog used, I might have just said,

"AOIIMom, why doesn't your daughter just ask someone in the sorority if they will be doing an additional recruitment? Surely they will know better than we do."

(ETA: after she was given the info. or quota and total, I mean, not instead of that.)

And if AOII mom was a heliparent (I have no idea if she is or not), she'd maybe think about that for a minute. And if she wasn't, there'd be a good reason that she asked instead which she'd either share or not share depending on what the reason was.

It's really not about rudeness or oneupmanship. It's about calling attention to the possibility that what they are doing isn't the automatically reasonable thing that they think it is. I honestly believe that leaving helicopters unquestioned is partially what perpetuates the behavior. It's not normal; and the parents who do it apparently need to be reminded of that, or the rest of us are going to be dealing with their helpless offspring for a mighty long time.

Quite an accomplishment for a mid-level sorority. Must be dumb luck.

You may have just been being playful, but the post you were responding to does make clear that it was mid-level numbers wise, which is a little different than just saying it's a mid-level group generally, IMO.

Besides that, if anyone doubts the chapter's overall outstanding quality, all they have to do is read the AOPiBamaMom thread and get set straight. Remember the one right after rush about how much her daughter loves the chapter?

It seems like it is the same few who feel the need to crack the whip, although they crack it with vigor. Everybody was new once and if someone flamed you every time you did something "inappropriate" you might not be around now.

It takes more time and thought but you can make your point without making it at the expense of others, unless your point is to snap on someone; although I am either the pot or the kettle here because I have been guilty of the instant reply that was unnecessarily snide.

My humblest apologies to anyone who may have misunderstood my meaning!!!! I'm quite sure AOPi at Alabama has much to be proud of like a ton of Bama' sororities!!!! I was just trying to make the point that Alabama's Panhellenic system (and I reckon IFC system too, for that matter) is really great and growing all around unbelievably!! But yeah, I should have just said something like "Wow!! that's almost 40 members more than a year ago!!" Alpha Omicron Pi has much to be proud of!!!! I know of few things that look and smell as beautiful as a rose!!!!

Your numbers are off. After formal recruitment last year, AOII had 202 members.

Yes, most people here DID get flamed for doing something inappropriate when they were new here. I still remember my first flame, and it did cause me to step back and consider what I post on GC.

I have tried to be patient and ignore the helimoms, but seriously, helimoming your daughter's FRIEND, asking for info that could easily be gained by your daughter?? Come on. Yes, the daughter is probably a new member, and it is probably intimidating...but it's a life-learning experience that I think today's youth are not getting. If mommy comes in and takes us out of every uncomfortable situation, we'll never learn how to deal with it.

I did ETA and apologize for the harsh words, but no matter how you say it, my opinion still stands.

Everything I've heard about Bama's rush this year has been positive...that's why I ask you again, AOPMOM---what was your question? But if it's going to piss people off, don't do it.

WOW I had not checked this thread in a while and was stunned by the unkind comments directed to me. I was simply inquiring about a Spring Rush at UA. No, my daughter did not ask me to come onto this site and find out. She merely asked me if I had ever heard of there being one. So, just for fun I thought that I would come here and ask. I was stunned by your response. FYI my daughter is doing just fine at Bama. She understands that going to college is more than just getting a degree its about learning life lessons that will prepare you for the "Real World." (without mommy and daddy). With regard to your surly comment about turning in my Tri Delta pledge pin, I obviously used the wrong sentence structure. I AM a Tri Delta and I WAS at the University of Georgia. I know that you don't care about this but these first posts that I have made on this site will be my last. You have given me the impression that this is not a friendly site for information.

No, my daughter did not ask me to come onto this site and find out. She merely asked me if I had ever heard of there being one. So, just for fun I thought that I would come here and ask. I was stunned by your response. FYI my daughter is doing just fine at Bama. She understands that going to college is more than just getting a degree its about learning life lessons that will prepare you for the "Real World." (without mommy and daddy). With regard to your surly comment about turning in my Tri Delta pledge pin, I obviously used the wrong sentence structure. I AM a Tri Delta and I WAS at the University of Georgia. I know that you don't care about this but these first posts that I have made on this site will be my last. You have given me the impression that this is not a friendly site for information.
If she's already at school there, she can call the Greek Life office (or whatever that school's equivilant of that is) or physically go there and find out herself.



Just sayin'.
