1) COB: in the past 6-8 years about half of the chapters particiapted in some spring recruitment (mind you there are like 22 national chapters their) but most only took about 5-8 girls not alot compared to a fall class of 52 (fall 2004 quota). Many GLO's there had not made quota in 3-4 years and so some, albit small, COB. its not like some schools that COB for a few weeks, you may only have 1-2 COB events to attend and then the chapter is done.
Professional: they are competitive but not as cut throat as they were. Many have "rush" like activities but they are not too difficult (not easy either)

Hijack...I'm shocked to hear that many haven't been making quota at Illinois. Just like Irishpipes said, back in the 80's COB was a completely foreign concept because practically everyone made quota and was significantly above total. Any particular reasons why? Did too many PNMs drop out? Was quota being set too high? Has Panhell gone to the new release figure system yet? If so, has this helped or hurt the situation?
Another tangent, at UofI we always called it "Panhell" but when I came to Bama folks looked at me like I was nuts and possibly even insulting the organization. Far from it, that was just what it was called then because the word Panhellenic is so long.
