Recruitment Results
 

Winter NPC recruitment is completed at some of the universities. Duke, Vanderbilt, SMU, Spring Hill, Villanova, Loyola/Marymount, Northwestern, Butler, Furman and Lehigh chapters have new member classes. University of Richmond, Cornell and University of Virginia have their new pledge classes as well. Does anyone have recruitment numbers from these universities?

Duke Results
 

From an article in the Duke Chronicle: http://media.www.dukechronicle.com/m...-3151218.shtml

Quota = 32

ADPi 33
AOPi 9
Alpha Phi 33
Chi O 33
Tri Delta 32
DG 34
Theta 32
Kappa 33
Pi Phi 32
Zeta 33

Hope AOII is able to get those numbers up through informal.

Wow, I'm shocked by the low AOPi # at Duke -- they were a very strong group when I was there (granted, that was 20+ years ago). Like the previous poster, I also hope they can add to their new member class via informal recruitment.

did duke have an alpha chi omega chapter? i swore they did...

Here's the Panhel history, according to the Duke Greel Life website (though I believe the Alpha Phi info is slightly off):

Vanderbilt
 

Vanderbilt Tri-Deltas pledged 50. They are excited that eleven of the new Deltas are legacies.

Kappa Delta at Vanderbilt pledged 50 + 1 with 7 legacies

I'm pretty sure Alpha Phi is correct at Duke.

I'm not sure if this is accurate, but according to a 1994 Duke Chronicle article: http://media.www.dukechronicle.com/m...-1438053.shtml

Alpha Phi is back on campus.

The sorority, which closed its Duke chapter in 1970, has just been adopted by the local Theta Beta Sigma sorority. The Office of Student Affairs and the Panhellenic Council approved the new affiliation this week.

Eight University women founded Theta Beta Sigma in April 1992 with the goal of becoming affiliated with a national sorority. Since the sorority's inception, members worked to increase numbers and achieve financial stability.

Panhel voted last fall to permit the sorority to begin seeking a national affiliation.... [Full article at link]

Kappa Kappa Gamma at Vanderbilt pledged 51 with 3 legacies (I am told quota was 46).

Quota was 34 at Washington and Lee University. All 5 NPC orgs achieved quota (one through snap bids) and 3 got quota plus. This is a school that pretty much only bids freshmen and there are only about 225 women in the freshman class.

Is there a way to find out what a friend's child pledged at Furman, before I call her/send a gift?

Interesting...I never knew any local sororities existed at Duke (of course, this particular one was founded 5 years after I left campus).

It doesn't seem possible that the affiliation with Alpha Phi was approved in 1994 and it took 9 years for the new chapter to be installed, does it?

This is an extremely greek school and all of the sororities have beautiful houses together. The university has done a great job of promoting greek unity and is extremely supportive of the greek system as a whole.

No, that isn't what happened. I don't know when they were installed, but it was a normal length of time.

It could have been that the Theta Beta Sigma/Alpha Phi colony flopped and was never installed and they gave it a second try in 2003. ASA had a colony like that too, I forget where.

When I was at Duke from 1996 to 2000 there was an Alphi Phi chapter. They recolonized in 2003, but they closed and recolonized (not sure what that is called) all in the same school year.

Yes, dukedg is right, thanks! I couldn't think of the word for it either, and I was distracted when I posted previously. :)

Alpha Phi at Duke
 

As a member of the BN^ chapter that closed and revitalized, I can assure you we were on campus from about 1997 through fall of 2000. :) We made a decision to revitalize the chapter and take alumna status while still in school rather than let it die with us in school. In winter 2001 (yep, spring semester after we went alum), APhi did an "open house" sort of presentation during round 1 of formal recruitment, then participated in rush fully afterwards. They were "revitalized" officially (charter returned) in 2003...so technically it was a third revitalization, but they kept the deuteron status.

Given their numbers from this year's rush, and getting updates from their advisor throughout the week (my mom helped them during polish days this year, so the recruitment advisor sent out updates), I am happy to see that our sacrifice wasn't in vain - I'm so proud of them!!!

Hope this helps clears up confusion...there is a tendency to forget that the first revitalization ever happened, which is painful (not going to lie) but I'm happy its working out now....hopefully if I have a daughter that goes to Duke, she can be a Phi too!!

Villanova Tri Delta recruitment
 

Bid day was Sunday. The advisor told me they took quota plus 1 but had no idea what quota was. :confused:

Baylor Kappa Alpha Theta pledged 58. Quota was 49.

Were they under total after meeting quota or is that just a ridiculous number of QAs? Congratulations to your daughter and the Baylor Thetas in any event!

I am the Membership Adviser for Kappa at Furman, so PM if you still need the information and maybe I can help you!

Quota at Furman was 36. Kappa pledged 36, including three legacies!

I believe these are the final numbers:
ADPi 36
Chi O 36
Tri Delt 36
DG 34
KD 36
Kappa 36

Everyone at Furman was really excited for such a successful recruitment all the way around!

Terrific job! My Kappa cousin wrote a rec for a young lady who wound up pledging DG.

Over at the DG forum we were told that DG did pledge 36 as well.

Juniors don't count into quota

That is GREAT!!!! Go Kappa! I am so proud of Eta Alpha's accomplishments!!! Best wishes for a great semester.

More Baylor Results
 

More results from Baylor University were obtained courtesy of Kitemom.

Apparently at Baylor junior pnms are not counted as part of quota. A group may or may not choose to take juniors. Quota was 49.

Alpha Chi Omega 49
Alpha Delta Pi 49
Chi Omega 49
Kappa Alpha Theta 58
Kappa Kappa Gamma 49
Pi Beta Phi 47
Tri-Delta 57
Zeta Tau Alpha 63

Wow....Theta and Zeta sure love those juniors!;)

Doesn't Baylor have a Sigma Kappa chapter?

It is based on junior hours. I know several girls went to summer school and took lots of hours so they would be classified as a jr. and not a soph. at the end of this semster. By school standards they are a jr, probably in their mind and others they are just a Soph. It a good way of getting in a sorority if you had been through rush before or didn't go through your Freshman year because you didn't make grades. You have to have a 2.5 the first semester to go through rush but most sororites want at least a 2.75. It is no secret the Tri-Delt and Chi Omega want a 3.0. They generally cut these girls after the first round of parties this GPA which is based on your first sememster and transfer grades don't count. Ex summer school at a jr. college. At Baylor you can't even be a cheerleader until you have completed 12 hours with a 2.5
Same applies to fraternities. It was a big topic of discussion at my house during Christmas who did and didn't make grades.

SWTXBelle no Sigma Kappa chapter.

So being a junior or having junior status is actually an advantage at Baylor?

We used to, but not anymore.

KD and Chi-O are the other two off that list.

(I have no clue how either did, FTR.)

SMU results
 

Anyone heard anything?

Stef,
Chi Omega is at Baylor and did make quota. Kitemom has posted that Alpha Chi Omega also made quota at Baylor.

In the DG forum, ADDG reported that DG at SMU pledged 52 women and quota was 52.

Kappa Kappa Gamma at UC Santa Cruz has 10 new members! We are having a COB like event for people who couldn't come to the last event of recruitment, so I might be updating that number.

Btw, we're a baby chapter. Our Gamma class brings us to 38 members!

Both Chi Omega and A Chi O are at Baylor they both made quota. Don't know about KD. No DG at Baylor. It was there when I was there and left in the 80's I think. Rumor has it they are coming back but who knows if and when. I have a friend who was a DG at Baylor.
