ISC recruitment ends with 360 bids

At the end of Bid Day Saturday, nearly all women interested in joining a sorority received a bid, Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Andrea Gaspardino said.
Of the more than 468 women registered for sorority recruitment, 360 women received bids Saturday, Gaspardino said. Eight women were not offered bids, while around 100 women chose not to complete the recruitment process.
Gaspardino said the number of withdrawals matches past years.
Of the seven National Panhellenic Council sororities on campus -- Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Phi Epsilon, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Delta Tau -- five reached their quota of 55 girls, she said.
Most sororities would not release the number of girls in their pledge classes because the numbers are still fluctuating. Continuous Opening Bidding, in which sororities that have not reached quota can offer bids to women who did not receive one Saturday, started Sunday and will continue throughout the semester.
Intersorority Council President Alicia Goldsby said ISC recruitment was a success.
"I was very impressed with the way NPC Rush went on and the end result was good," Goldsby said. "Overall, all the sororities are pleased with this week's outcome."
She urged girls not offered a bid to a sorority not to feel disenchanted with the rush process.
"These things happen," she said. "They should go through recruitment next year and know that things will work out for them at the right time."
