New Member Class sizes....
 

So I was reading the thread about initiation and was shocked at the numbers in the classes... I guess its all about school size... our total here is 60 because Clarion is a small school... our chapter is at about 40 now, where we usually are. the past classes were:
(our program is 4 weeks long, so we do 2 halves a semester, but its one class)

Fall 99 - 2
Spring 2000 - Mine! - 10 (8 (me) and 2)
Fall 2000 - 9 ( 6 and 3)
Spring 2001 - My Little! - 7 (6 and 1)
Fall 2001 - My 2 Little! - 8 (3 and 5)

Its just odd seeing larger numbers!

We have about 9000 at my school and our newest pledge class has 21 guys.

Bloomsburg is just like Clarion. Problem is we have 10 sororities and like 60 women going through formal recruitment, so quota is 6. And of course, everyone doesn't get 6. Last semester, two sororities made quota, and two didn't get ANY! To have a pledge class of like 40 would be too much for our school :)

We have over 1,000 PNM's come through rush each year and only 9 sororities (we'll be adding another one this fall thankfully!) Because of this, our new member classes are huge. When I rushed in Fall '99, I had a pledge class of 65! (7 sororities rushed this year...Kappa Alpha Theta colonized fall of '00 and Delta Gamma recolonized in the Fall of '99)
Fall '00- 71 (the largest so far but this is before we added our ninth sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta)
Fall '01- 67

Our pledge class size will probably be smaller next fall and the fall of '03 because Kappa Kappa Gamma will be colonizing soon.

ZTAngel-What chapters do you have and what school do you attend?

good topic!
 

At UGA, there are (I believe) 17 NPC sororities, and over 1,000 girls go through formal rush each year. Pledge class sizes are usually around 50-55 girls each fall.

At Texas A&M, this year's quota was 54 for the eleven sororities on campus. Two years ago, quota was 71! Oh, our chapter total (which we are at) is over 200 girls.

numbers
 

max membership is 50 women (with exception) (in all the chapters, AZD, ZTA, GphiB, tri-Sigma, PhiM)
now this semester we have 14 new ladies! (who will be intiated this week!!) we'll most likely be at max for formal recruitment next fall. yay! :)

BAH, I say, BAH to all of you!

CSUN has 30,000 students.

It also has about 70 different clubs -- greek, student government, ethnic group, business advancement, drama, etc.

My frat is lucky to get 5 pledges a semester. BAH. :D

...... not that I'm complaining.... ;)

Total for my campus, NAU, is 90 and quota was 25, with 150 girls going trough rush, in past years it was as high as 35 and as low and 20 it just depends. Our field consultant is here and she was telling me that at here school, LSU, total is really high i think she said 230, but I could have miss heard, and new member classes of 60, and it blew me away.

I'm at the University of Central Florida and we have:
Zeta Tau Alpha
Pi Beta Phi
Alpha Xi Delta
Kappa Delta
Alpha Delta Pi
Kappa Alpha Theta
Delta Gamma
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta

and Kappa Kappa Gamma probably will be colonizing this fall.

I have a really great friend from HS who went to University of Central Florida, actually...I had a bunch of friends from DeSoto go to UCF....and Yesenia I think joined one of the Latina Sororities there on Campus. :)

You heard your field consultant right. LSU is similar to UGA in its numbers. 230 total with a quota of 60 is pretty standard. :)

about the same
 

HEY,
At my school the frats run about 10 to 20 new members per ruch. The sororities usually bring in from 30-50 i go to the 2nd largest university in Louisiana. Does that seem large to yall?

Depending on the particular rush, sororities here in Boston take between 20 and 30 (sometimes slightly more) during formal rush, and can take up to ceiling during informal. I think total right now is around 70 girls? (10 NPC sororities)

For the fraternities, it's all informal - we generally take around 15 a semester, and have 77 brothers right now (plus 11 pledges). I pledged with 20. We're the largest on campus, average size is b/w 35 and 40, ranging from 16 up to 77 (wide variety within there). 7 NIC fraternities recognized, plus 2 sub rosa, and one colony. Also, APO and KKPsi.

Boston University has 16,000 undergrads, and over 400 student groups and organizations . . . yeah, it's an activist campus. These groups range from housing groups to spectrum to a capella to SASSO (Students Against Stupid Student Organizations) . . . New England can be brutal - I definitely miss the midwest sometimes, especially when there's a protest against the CEO of Shell Oil speaking to the management senior class, across the street from a rally against US interests in Afghanistan . . . good times.
