My understanding of things is as follows - UGA has been experiencing a significant dropoff in enrollment during Spring semester, due to students graduating after 4 1/2 years, dropping out, etc. Last Spring the University offered a group of high school seniors admssion for January 2009 in an effort to "up" their second semester numbers. A friend of mine's daughter, who was wait listed at the time, received this offer and happily accepted. Of course, these girls were unable to participate in Fall recruitment and my friend says UGA is addressing the issue by instating a Spring recruitment. Hope others will be able to add to this information. I would love to know how many students were admitted for second semester and if the sororities intend to increase total to accomodate them.
