AngelMom76 · #1 09-04-2014, 06:30 PM

Hey everyone! I know that Formal Recruitment starts this weekend...I was wondering if anyone had preliminary numbers for PNM's?

IL Anchor Girl · #2 09-04-2014, 11:06 PM

The number I heard from a sister who has a daughter going through was close to 1400.

Thanks! I also know that a couple of the houses are getting either their 'old' house back or relocating to 'new' ones. Are there any new chapters this year for rush?

Alpha Xi Delta is renting a house with a 5 year lease. Phi Mu is planning to return in 2016.

I can't wait to hear how it goes!!

I didn't know that Phi Mu had left campus. Glad they are back. They were a strong chapter back-in-the-day. Heard that it started raining on the girls tonight. Good thing it's Open House....not a 'dress-up' stage! ha!

They aren't back. If conditions are right, they hope to return in 2016.

The weather is NOT cooperating for recruitment in the Midwest this year. We've had the most beautiful summer of my life, warm but not hot, not much rain. Mizzou had recruitment and the weather turned hotter than blue blazes. U of I has recruitment and the weather gives the ladies a thunderstorm. Poor PNMs.

Gorgeous day yesterday for Open House! Soooo hope today's events go without a hitch. If anyone knows 'numbers' today or after this round let me know!!!

I downloaded the PNM group assignment list from the UIUC Panhellenic site and there are 1395 PNMs listed.

Second round of invites today..how many girls are still "in"? and any news from any specific houses as to how it's going?

And we're now located across the street from my husbands fraternity (although no one is currently living there because it's being completely renovated!) It's a really good thing we didn't live in that house when I was there, I would have never had a reason to leave Chalmers St.
