Just heard from my sister that around 480 PNMs went through the first day of recruitment at Iowa State. That's about the same as they had last year - which is great!
ETA: Ames also had some major flooding last week and my sister said most chapters had some sort of water in their basement. The Sigma Sigma chapter of Kappa Delta had just finished a beautiful remodel of their house, including the basement, which got flooded.
The chapters also had to deal with a boil order and water conservation rules in effect last week because several water mains broke due to the floods. Despite that, she said the PNMs are enthusiastic and the girls in the chapters are excited for how things are going! Pref night is tomorrow.
