Sorry for going off the subject too much. How is DZ doing today?

This cracked me up... that's basically what happened when I took over as my university's Panhellenic Advisor. I love it though.

Who asked you to delete it?

Apparently the information that I posted was sensitive in some manner and I had inadvertently offended another chapter. Which, by the way, was never my intention. However I have enough respect for my organization to comply with the wishes of the higher up's. Sucks though that a post on Greek chat that I wrote to build up and support my chapter could be taken in a negative way.

I didn't see you post anything offensive about another chapter....

Can you at least let us know how it turned out in the end for you girls?

It would be my pleasure to at least give you the finale...never mind that you all missed the middle of the show. No concerns!

Anyways, our chapter did AMAZING! And I might add I think it was the BEST year for all the chapters at my university. By the way, it is the University of Central Oklahoma. Our chapter made quota which was 28 plus we got two quota additions. We were still just under total so we were able to pick up several other PNM's which brought our new member class to 33!

As far as Panhellenic went, we had 195 PNM's start recruitment and we lost about 70 of them. Some were due to grade cuts but it was our first year with ICS and the first day was incredibly long and unorganized. Our last party started at midnight! And that was our 11th by the way! I think that was part of the reason why we lost some of the potentials. It sucks because those girls could have been great members but it was a learning experience for everyone. Hopefully next year we will have high numbers again and we will keep them interested until the end!

I say it was the BEST recruitment for all chapters because it really seemed like every chapter got *the top girls that they wanted*
So many times it seems like everyone competes over the top 20 PNM's. This year every chapter got their favorites and their favorites wanted them too!

For Double Blue and Gold-your women did excellent! They got some really great women and they recruited with class and style! I love your advisor, she is so sweet! And their Pref looked beautiful! It seemed like an AWESOME rush for your chapter at UCO! Congratulations.

We have Delta Zeta, Alpha Gamma Delta, Sigma Kappa and Alpha Xi Delta at our school!
