SPRING RUSH AT ALABAMA??
Does anyone know if the University of Alabama participates in a Spring Rush? Do all of the sororities participate? Does AOII participate?
Thank you |
Spring recruitment would depend on how many of the chapters were not at total after fall recruitment. Be aware that at a school like Bama, there may be chapters that are under total but choose not to do spring recruitment for whatever reason. The Bama Greek Life office would be your best source of info (even though I don't think they'd have that info until spring).

Only chapters that are below campus total would participate in Spring Recruitment. Until the list of returning members is created in January, there's no way of knowing who, if anyone, would be holding spring COB events. I think all houses are currently at or over total right now.

Alabama has never, to my knowledge, done a campus-wide spring rush. A few groups may be doing Continuous Open Bidding at that time, but you would have to check in the Panhellenic office for info around the middle of January.

Alabama does a very informal spring recruitment. It's basically a meet and greet at the Ferg (student union). Spring recruitment is NOTHING like Fall. Like others said, only those chapters under house total are allowed to participate. Last year 4 or 5 chapters participated and roughly 70 girls registered. I think about 30 bids or so were distributed. The year before last only 2 chapters participated and no girls recieved bids. It just varies on how many chapters are allowed to take girls and how many girls are interested.
The big difference maker last year was the bump in house total. House total is now 180, the year before it was 140 and the year before that 125. I doubt house total will go up this year because that only hurts the chapters below total because they can't catch up. Also, with extension in the near future for UA as many chapters as possible need to be at total. I would suggest that your daughter (I'm assuming your daughter is looking at recruitment) wait until fall to participate just so she has the most options. With the possible addition of 2 (maybe) chapters and the current 15 NPC houses on campus, your daughter will surely find her place. But if she is just dying to join a house now, encourage her to attend COR events with chapters that are currently under total so that she can get a real sense of the chapter since the Spring "meet and greet" recruitment process can leave something to be desired in the way of meeting and learning about the women of a chapter. |

Here's the thing.... I was OK with ignoring the Helicopter parents...I'm a parent myself, I can sympathize a little...but you're now helicoptering YOUR DAUGHTER'S FRIEND??? WHAT.THE.EFF.??? The questions you asked us should have been asked BY YOUR DAUGHTER to her sorority's MEMBERSHIP CHAIR...not by YOU on GREEKCHAT. By the way... you WERE a Tri Delta??? Did you turn in your pin? ETA: I realize I was harsh, and I'm sorry...but AOII BAMA MOM, have you not read ANYTHING else on here? The boards have not been favorable this year to moms who are spoon feeding their daughters and living vicariously. |
Oh, great.
First I find that I cannot change my user name. Then someone comes along and pokes a hole in my fragile little dam. Damn. |

I was a Tri Delta at the University of Georgia and back in my day--quote] Well, she's certainly not a Tri-Delt at Georgia now. Relax. |

As for your opinion-sorry, GC is not happy ponies and rainbows land. People here are snarky (sometimes unnecessarily, I'll grant you that) and I like the sass. It keeps me interested and makes me laugh. What an innocent question is to you isn't always to other people. |
