I went through tech's recruitment in fall of 2009. There were over 800 girls total, but don't let that freak you out. The majority of the houses have very large pledge classes and most girls that I know found a place in a house that they truly love and belong in. I do not know of any girls that actually live in the lodges, the lodges are all used for chapter meetings and other small events (generally speaking, of course I can't speak for everyone.) It sounds like you have a good starting point for recruitment this fall. I recommend spending time between now and then securing recs for as many of the houses as possible. Remember, all the chapters we have are national organizations and there certainly are some alumnae in your area from each of the organizations, even if they didn't attend texas tech they are sure to be able to help at least a little.
I also have some advice from my personal experience in recruitment: keep an open mind. I went in to recruitment thinking that I knew who would like me, who I would like, and where I would end up. Despite spending a lot of time on these forums before hand, I still felt that way. But let me tell you, it ended up turning out almost the exact opposite of what I thought was going to happen, and I am so glad it did! Be positive despite any prior knowledge you may have about the chapter, and give EVERYONE a chance.
Good luck!
