A lot of the groups are probably so far above total that they are never eligible to COB.
If a young women is interested in COB, she should probably talk to someone at the greek life.

Bamamom, I am sorry it didn't work out for your daughter this year. In light of what everyone has said, I think that if she is interested in trying again next year, the most important thing she can do is study hard this year. College is so much different than high school, as you know, and this is her chance to get her affairs in order. It sounds like there are a lot of other great organizations at Bama, and I'm guessing a lot of sorority girls are involved in them too, so she can meet them that way. I think we sometimes forget that the reason we go to college is to learn, and sororities and things are called EXTRAcurricular for a reason. I know I did sometimes!

I feel like Bama may be one of those schools where it's not openly publicized if there ARE COB events.

Historically for most Chapters, COBing is pretty rare at Bama. A few years ago Chapter Total was increased to 180 and that pushed several under Total. As I recall perhaps 6 ended up doing Spring COB that year. Even then Chapters were only able to take like 5-10 new members.
AFAIK and not counting SDT, all Chapters except 1 were still above Total last Spring. Normally with a quota of 72 Fr and 5 Up, most would be well above Total. However with the lousy economy I know everyone is facing a significant increase in the number of member resignations due to not being able to afford sorority life. So this year, who knows?

Sorry for the short video, y'all. Leah and Becca are my daughters. They are both Tri Delts now. If I had my mind about me, I would have videoed the entire thing. I ran to the house after they came by.

I just heard from a chapter advisor at Bama who had some more information. Every single sorority made quota and those who were under house total were able to bid up to total so each and every sorority at Bama is currently at or above total. This year only 138 girls dropped out or didn't get bids - last year that number was 366. She said each GLO got some outstanding girls and that the entire day was so "Panhellenic". She said there were 10 or 11 buses to take the girls to their respective pledge retreats - they're too big to hold them in the houses.
She and I are both concerned about out-or-state girls not realizing how crucial recs are on this campus. I personally met with girls in SC in mid-July and they didn't have a clue - some of them only had 3 or 4 recs at that point and only had 2 weeks until the date the chapters wanted to have them. I always emphasize the recs and the grade issue to any girls I talk with prior to rush. I'm not sure how they are going to do it but the University has to do a better job of getting accurate information to the PNM's.
It's over for another year and for almost everyone, it was another extremely successful rush. Using the release figures is doing what it is supposed to do and there are a lot of happy and tired women in T'Town tonight.
RTR!

Do you feel that the Bama Panhellenic does a good job of communicating to PNMs that THEY need to be securing recs?
I know that there are sometimes issues with some SEC schools continuing to perpetuate the myth that "it's the CHAPTER'S JOB to get recs for PNMs."
Note: not saying that the chapters NEVER do this, but the sororities generally aren't going to do it.
I also know that there's a resolution stating that they HAVE TO say that, but I really think that that needs to be changed.
