"Panhellenic Council had a record-breaking start to its Fall Formal Recruitment, with 1,740 women registered to participate. After yesterday’s Bid Day that culminated a 10-day recruiting process, a record 1,208 women have been given the opportunity to join the Greek community.

If this were any other year, those who were not offered a bid would not be able to immediately join the Greek community. This year, however, these women have another opportunity — the newly recolonized Phi Sigma Sigma chapter at Penn State."
Classes look to be in the 65 range - unheard of at Penn State in the past.
I don't have any numbers for individual chapters but it made me really happy to see photos of some of the sororities who haven't had strong rushes in the past post pictures of HUGE pledge classes. I'm sorry Tri Sig couldn't have held on one more year.
For a more cynical (but funny) take on the process:
