I have some members from UCLA recruitment. Approximately 1200 women went through recruitment. Bid night was this past Sunday. (Usually it’s on the quarter system and doesn’t start classes until the last week of September so that is why recruitment is later than schools on the semester system.)
ADPi - 98
APhi - 97
XO - 92
All other groups except AXO and KD (numbers unknown) got New Member classes in the 90’s: GPhiB, DG, Pi Phi, Theta, KKG.
Chapter total is now at 300! None of the sororities on this campus have the space to hold 300 people for Monday night dinner or chapter meetings. The conference rooms and classrooms on campus that could be used for at least chapter meetings, have classes or have already been reserved on Monday nights. The sororities are gonna have to get creative about where to hold chapter meetings.
And before anyone says expansion, they tried to take care of that. Try Delta was voted in to come back first when they closed roughly 10 years ago due to low numbers. Unfortunately, they leased out their house and it’s currently being used by a millionaire for the homeless. (I know that when a family wants to move out into their own house that is being leased, they can give the tenant a 90 day notice to vacate. I don’t know if this also applies sorority housing, but if I were a Tri-Delta, I would be calling the state department of housing in Sacramento.)
There are 3 sorority houses that are being leased to other students: AGD, AEPhi and Phi Mu. One house being used for the associate sorority, which I believe is an engineering sorority. The other two are independent student housing. But UCLA is definitely a campus that needs expansion!
