This weekend at the football game, I was asked a lot of questions by a group of PNMs who will be going through recruitment this year. One of the girls is from the east coast and her mother is an alumna of a chapter on campus. Her mother told her she was most likely to get a bid from her chapter during recruitment. I had a very delicate discussion with the daughter that lead to her calling her mom and I chatted with her on the phone. The mother was not aware that she needed to send something in to her chapter to verify the legacy status. I, also, explained to her that her chapter may have close to 100 women going through who are legacies. She is not an active alum and had no idea that she needed to send in a notification form. She got online while she was on the phone with me and located the necessary form. I really liked all of these girls and I hope they fare well in January.
I will be curious to see if the placement rate rises this year with 21 chapters. The registration period is now closed. If the placement rate remains in the area it has been, I wonder if IU will open for expansion again? There are only 5 chapters not currently represented.
