University of Alabama Recruitment 2007

[Zillini]

Since so many people have asked me about Bama’s Recruitment I decided to start a thread. There are 15 Chapters on campus but on 14 will be participating in Formal Recruitment. SDT will have an informational tent for PNM's to visit.

In 2006 we had a total of 1357 PNM’s signed up for Recruitment. As of today (8/5) there are 1307 signed up with a week to go. Everyone anticipated another large increase over last year since that has been the annual trend. However unless there’s a major surge in last minute signups, it appears we may have roughly the same amount as 2006 which resulted in Freshman quota of 69 and Upperclassmen quota of 6.

Additional parties and breaks in the days were added to the first and second rounds. This will cut down on over crowding in the houses and hopefully encourage everyone to rehydrate and eat. August in Bama is miserable with the heat and humidity. Last year there were several cases of PNM's and actives collapsing.

Open House/Round 1: Monday 8/13 – 14 parties; Tuesday 8/14 – 9 parties; PNM’s attend 14 Chapters out of 23 total parties

Philanthropy Day/Round 2: Wednesday 8/15 – 8 parties; Thursday 8/16 – 6 parties; PNM’s may accept invitations to 11 of the 14 total parties

Skit Day/Round 3: Friday 8/17 – 7 parties; PNM’s may accept 7 invitations

Pref Night: Saturday 8/18 – 3 parties; PNM’s may accept 3 invitations

Bid Day: Sunday 8/19; Bids distributed at 5pm


*ETA: As of 8/7 there were 1379 PNM's signed up.
