Rush at UK
 

A pal of mine is Rushing at UK right now. ITs day two.

Lets all send her nice thoughts.

Woo-who! Best of luck to your friend. Great chapters at UK! :D

Good luck to your friend, James. I hope she has an enjoyable and successful time!

.....Kelly :)

Thanks for the best wishes lol . . not many replied, i guess they feel cheated out of the play by play :p

Let us know what happens! I was down there yesterday for rush & will be back for pref! Maybe I'll see your friend then! ;)

Anyone know what total and quota are for UK this year?

UK stats .. . .

Quota wont be known till after preference is overwith. Total in teh past has been 150, but I believe in the past couple of years that has been increased. I believe quota though is typically between 50-60.

She got invited back to a bunch of houses but some girls in her group were cut completely.

What is tomorrow soupposed to be like? Pref is thursday.

Mary, are the numbers in that link accurate to the best of your knowledge?

Note: I am only mildly and rather tangently interested in this outcome because its someone I know. I don't want anyone to think I am excited about this or care very much about the result... :p

Mary, while I am asking:

Just tell us the entire formal rush process from beginning to end at UK lol:)

Save me asking in segments.

1) I dont know if the numbers in that link are the most accurate. I'd say since it was put out by the Greek Affairs office they probably are.

2)UK has 12 chapters. A PNM visits all twelve on day one(yesterday). Days two and three are the Philanthropy Rounds. A number of ten parties may be attended and that is broken down to five each day. Day three/Wednesday is the Third round and a maximum of 6 parties may be attended. Thursday is preference and a maximum of 3 parties may be attended. After the parties the PNM's go over to Memorial Hall to sign their bid cards. Bid Day is Friday and I believe bids will be distributed in the Classroom building by Noon, and then you'll see all these girls and members running and screaming in excitement towards their new sorority houses (or from if they are members) to greet their new members.

3). UK is an SEC school. It is quite competitive, usually close to 1000 PNM's register. Many either are cut or quit after the first day for whatever reasons. It's not as competitive as other SEC or southern schools, but competitive nonetheless. Lots of legacies go through recruitment at UK.

This year there were more than 70+ girls in each rush group that came through the Sigma Kappa house yesterday. This means that there were anywhere between 850-900 girls total this year from my rough numbers. I didn't count each group exactly (nor did I get the chance to) but I do know that we almost ran out of seats for our lovely PNM's!

And its definitely competitive, if not for anything but the simple fact of how many girls go through each year! Girls that don't appear to be interested will be seen that way!

Good luck to your friend James! Hopefully UK has a home for her somewhere! :)

James, please tell your friend that I - all of us at GreekChat! - wish her the best in Recruitment. I'm sure we all want her to find the best sorority home for her, even though we each have our own ideas of which home that should be! ;)

I've got a couple of friends who are helping out with their groups recruitment at UK and I believe they said chapter total had been lowered. Is that possible? And no, I don't know what the total is now.
