My pledge class was pretty average for my sorority. There were 6 women in my pledge class, including myself. That was pretty good considering it was informal rush. It is very rare to have more than 10 pledges or new members (as they call them now)rushing ANY sorority on our campus. Sometimes a sorority outweighed another, like we had only 4 in formal rush one time, while another sorority had like 15 or more (I can't remember). We always did better during informal rush. But that's ok, I'm not even sure how well my sorority's rush does now, last I heard, we were really getting up there in numbers (over 30 initiated). I really treasured my time with my pledge class. We had a great time and grew very close. I know how hard it was for the 6 of us to plan events, I can't imagine planning for 20 or more! That would be a mess! For those of you in big chapters, how did you accomplish this? How did your relationships grow between sisters?
