Well, for our Fall 2007 pledge class we initiated 8 girls. Then we initiated 2 pledges in the spring. So right now we have about 14 members, but we're losing 4 seniors, and a freshman because she's transferring.

Let's see...we have meetings every Sunday. We have 2 frat parties during rush, then 1 to 2 more frat parties a semester. For service, how many events we have depends on what is available. This semester we had 3 service events - we attended Take Back the Night (a rally to raise awareness about domestic violence), we had a dinner to raise money for Tibetan women who are abused by their husbands, and we were supposed to have a tea party social at Longview home for the elderly, but that fell through because of difficulties communication between the service coordinator of GDPi and the social coordinator of Longview. We have lots of social events, too. We had sushi/Saki bombing night, had our pledge initiation dinner, had our senior picnic, and our traditional midnight at manos diner run so we can all be together one last time. All this in addition to the 4 rush events, and 4 frat parties. So basically, 6 events for Rush, 8 pledging events (which take place as an entire sorority, not just the pledge class), and 6-7 other events (service and socials).
