SMU Recruitment

[ElvisLover]

SMU recruitment is in session this week. I haven't had time to read other forums about it. Does anyone know if they use RFM?

Not sure about sorority rush - my son is currently going through fraternity rush at SMU. I do know that it snowed this morning in Dallas - the sorority rush parties started at 8:30 (second round) so I feel really sorry for those poor girls having to go out in the bad weather. I know that most of the houses are on the other end of the campus from where the freshman - luckily you can get from one side of the campus to the other in a short period of time.

Hey! Sent you a PM. Hope it went through.

RFM was used when I was active at SMU, although I graduated a couple of years ago.

there are few schools which don't use RFM or a version of it (Indiana being an example) and I can't think of any well known ones that don't.

Indiana does use RFM, they just have bed quota and no chapter total. Chapters are given release figures based on return rates. Yes, we know we're dysfunctional.

That's why I said a version of it!

[ElvisLover]

Bids just went out at SMU. Can anyone post chapter totals whenever they can? Hope everyone made quota!

I believe DG pledged 56 and that primary quota was 49 and secondary was 6. Bid day was today.

Will any of the chapters be going through cob in the fall?

[DubaiSis]

According to the NPC list, the school is open for expansion. I don't know if a chapter could be chosen, do their prep and colonize already next fall, but that is apparently on the horizon. But do be aware, colonies are not sure things, especially at competitive schools like SMU.

Regaring COB, make sure to register with the Greek life office. There may be some chapters that missed quota by a couple and need to pick up a few girls still this spring.

[Kennedyy]

Yeah, I already contacted Greek Life and they only do informal recruitment in the fall for upperclassman. I'm kind of scared that they may not do it fall because of how many girls went through. I would hate to wait another year to go through recruitment :/

[ElvisLover]

How many pnms went through there this year?

[KKGAlumDGMom]

I believe there were 538 pnms who had registered and made the minimum 2.5 gpa cut, not sure how many actually showed up on day 1 this week.
