Auburn University (Beta Theta) - 41
Oklahoma State University (Epsilon Epsilon) - 37
University of Iowa (Beta Mu) - 36
Florida State University (Zeta Zeta) - 35
University of Kansas (Nu) - 33
University of Colorado (Gamma Kappa) - 31
Louisiana State University (Phi) - 31
University of Georgia (Mu) - 27
South Carolina (Delta) - 27
UCLA (Epsilon Pi) - 27
Texas Tech (Zeta Pi) - 24
University of California Irvine (Lambda Omicron) - 24
Northern Illinois (Theta Eta) - 23
Birmingham-Southern University - 22
University of Tennessee (Epsilon Eta) - 18
Central Oklahoma (Mu Tau) - 16
Fresno State (Zeta Kappa) - 16
Mississippi State University (Iota Gamma colony) - 14
San Jose State University (Zeta Iota) - 12

South Carolina (Delta) - 27

Texas Tech (Zeta Pi) - 24 candidates for the Fall 2008 semester.

Way to go Tech!

we're four days into rush. we have I'd say maybe 7-10 guys that are hooked and about 35 phone numbers to work with

University of Kansas (Nu) - 33 (per poster to the KU thread.)

bid voting tonight, bid day is the 8th.....wish us luck

Mu Tau (Central Oklahoma) took 19.

awesome job Kevin!!! Very strong show. how does it rank for the campus? i thought bid day was the 8th?

I have no idea how that compares. That'll put us up near 50 in terms of membership. I haven't paid much attention to the other groups since around 2003, and even then, my information wasn't great.

If everyone did pretty well in rush, it can't be long before we expand again though. Maybe ATO will come back to campus (they left 2 years ago because of membership and risk management issues).

University of Tennessee (Epsilon Eta) - 18

Correction -- my chapter took 16. We had 19 "sign," but only took 16 of those.

Florida State University (Zeta Zeta) - 35.

Fresno State (Zeta Kappa) - 16

University of Arkansas (Gamma Upsilon) - 50 (From another site; not sure how reliable that is)

Mississippi State University (Iota Gamma colony) - 14 at the moment although we'll continue recruiting for our Fall class until the end of September. We hope to have a class of at least 20-25. We currently have 36 men total, up from 6 this time last year.

Commander of the Iota Gamma colony,

John Butler

The University of Iowa (Beta Mu) - 36 new members

Theta Eta (Northern Illinois) began semester with 47 actives and took 23 pledges. That makes 70. We graduate 13 this year. We hope we take at least 13 in the spring so we can return 70 next fall. Then a 30 man pledge class makes us a 100-man fraternity!

Congratulations Theta Eta.

Kedzman, has HQ tapped you yet to train alumni volunteers? If not, they need to. My reading of the situation has you personally involved in a lot of the success of Theta Eta. I'd love to be able to know what you've found works and doesn't work.

Feel free to call me anytime. PM me and I'll give you my phone number. Then again, it's on ThetaEta.com.

Auburn University (Beta Theta) - 41

Zeta Iota (San Jose State): 13 recruited, 1 quit because of ROTC.....down to 12

University of California Irvine (lambda omicron) just finished rush. I'm an alumni now but I heard 24 bids were accepted with about 40 active brothers.

Updated the main post. Thanks for the info guys.
How about: Mizzou? Okie State? Ole' Miss? Alabama? North Tex? Just a few I'd be interested in hearing.

Added UCLA (Epsilon Pi) - 27
