Some of ya'll expressed interest, and seeing as how this is the largest Panhellenic in the country, I am giving my alma mater its own thread.
There will be no specific chapter info, because doing so could give away things like affiliations of RX's and Panhellenic officers, and though this board appears Illini-free, I will not risk it.
1. One of the groups here, XYZ, decided to recolonize. Every member of their chapter took alum status in the spring, and they are recolonizing this fall. They will not participate in formal recruitment. They asked Panhellenic for a moratorium on COB from the other chapters all semester, but only got it for three weeks (per the green book) beginning one week after bid day. There are other chapters on campus that will not be at total even if they get quota in formal recruitment. XYZ had a speaker at orientation, and I believe they will be participating in the first round of recruitment.
2. As of the first day of classes, registration was very low. Only about 750 women were signed up. We usually have around 1100 women participate. The sororities went on a massive push to improve numbers, and by orientation, there were 1200 girls.
Other random facts about my school's rush:
