I posted a thread as well in the recruitment forum.

I heard this was not the greatest recruitment for TAMU. 863 girls signed up for recruitment, where drop out rates were extremely high. I'm not sure of exact numbers for the first 3 nights, but I have been told that on pref night 300 girls dropped out. Quota was supposed to be 53, but with all of the drop outs, ALL chapters were going to have to do snap bidding, so quota was lowered to 50. 4 chapters I am told did not make quota: DZ, Alpha Chi, Gamma Phi and ADPi. I am not sure how close or far or if they were able to make up with snapping, but from what I can tell, this probably was not the Aggies' best recruitment. 15 were cross cut.

I think this just proves why dirty rushing isn't fair to the PNM--why else would 300 drop out the last day? Just a thought....

hmmm a few posts above said DZ made quota. Did they make it with snap bids? It would seem that greek life would grow as the student population has grown but quota was 52 when I went through in 92 so it seems not much has changed. I wish greek life would gain some ground.

Are they using the Release Figures?

On the few campuses which I know enough to discuss, they (the Release Figures) have made all the difference in the world! Much less dropping - especially at Pref - and almost no cross cutting.

Something is just not right. If A&M isn't using the release figures, maybe this will convince them!
It's our first rush with our beautiful new house - I really hope my girls are able to snap to quota pretty quickly.

Since I was initiated 100 years ago (OK, maybe not quite, but close) will someone tell me what Release Figures are, and cross cutting?

BTW, I was in College Station this past weekend and drove by the Gamma Phi Beta house. Very nice addition to student life at TAMU!
