Arkansas Recruitment
 

Hi!
My little sister is going to attend University of Arkansas this fall and will be going through recruitment. I am a Zeta Tau Alpha Alumnae so am familiar with recruitment at the University I attended but would love to learn more about the University of Arkansas recruitment process. Any information is appreciated!

Thanks,
Arksis:rolleyes:

There are so many threads about Arkansas Recruitment, so fyi, the search button is your friend. However as I'm feeling super awesome and nice today:

Press Me!

No, you are an [B]alumna[B], not alumnae. That's plural and I am assuming there is only one of you.

I know I read some stories about Arkansas recruitment in the Recruitment Stories section. You might want to look around in those threads and see what you can find.

wavycutchip and gee ess are both involved at Arkansas. I used to be an advisor there. Arkansas is a very tough recruitment. Not a lot of chapters and a whole lot of PNMs. However, 2 NPCs are colonizing this fall to help alleviate the overcrowding. All the chapters are very large and outstanding - many are award-winning in their respective national/international organizations. Like everywhere else in the SEC - she will need recs and an open mind.

Thanks for the correction.

Thanks maybe I should have been more clear... I have already googled this information I'm looking for more detailed information other than what google and the university site provides. But thanks for the link.

This was very helpful information. Thank you very much!

Thank you this is very helpful. I'm new to this chat thing so was looking for any helpful guidance! Thank you again!

Search this site for Arkansas recruitment info - not Google. Lots of threads here....

You can use google to search greekchat you just need to use the advance search option and put www.greekchat.com as the domain. Sometimes I find that more helpful because you can exclude some words and filter by date.

As you can see, quota last year was 131. Yes, 131. So, most chapters hover near 300 members. I would think most PNMs should be able to find a niche in any chapter of such a size. Unfortunately, many PNMs get caught up in tent talk and drop out if they don't get invites from certain chapters. However, I believe that the "worst" chapter at Arkansas would stand up well against power chapters at many other schools. Greek life is very big at UA, so hopefully your sister will give all the chapters a good look. She will need recs to every chapter.

Wowza! That would have replaced my entire chapter...

Yea - quota was higher than total. LOL. Makes it hard to find a place to have a meeting, ya know?

Can you imagine roll call? An hour later "I call this meeting to order..."
