Quota was 34 at Washington and Lee University. All 5 NPC orgs achieved quota (one through snap bids) and 3 got quota plus. This is a school that pretty much only bids freshmen and there are only about 225 women in the freshman class.

This is an extremely greek school and all of the sororities have beautiful houses together. The university has done a great job of promoting greek unity and is extremely supportive of the greek system as a whole.

Is there a way to find out what a friend's child pledged at Furman, before I call her/send a gift?

I am the Membership Adviser for Kappa at Furman, so PM if you still need the information and maybe I can help you!

Quota at Furman was 36. Kappa pledged 36, including three legacies!

I believe these are the final numbers:
ADPi 36
Chi O 36
Tri Delt 36
DG 34
KD 36
Kappa 36

Everyone at Furman was really excited for such a successful recruitment all the way around!

Over at the DG forum we were told that DG did pledge 36 as well.

Yes, dukedg is right, thanks! I couldn't think of the word for it either, and I was distracted when I posted previously.

Alpha Phi at Duke

As a member of the BN^ chapter that closed and revitalized, I can assure you we were on campus from about 1997 through fall of 2000. We made a decision to revitalize the chapter and take alumna status while still in school rather than let it die with us in school. In winter 2001 (yep, spring semester after we went alum), APhi did an "open house" sort of presentation during round 1 of formal recruitment, then participated in rush fully afterwards. They were "revitalized" officially (charter returned) in 2003...so technically it was a third revitalization, but they kept the deuteron status.

Given their numbers from this year's rush, and getting updates from their advisor throughout the week (my mom helped them during polish days this year, so the recruitment advisor sent out updates), I am happy to see that our sacrifice wasn't in vain - I'm so proud of them!!!

Hope this helps clears up confusion...there is a tendency to forget that the first revitalization ever happened, which is painful (not going to lie) but I'm happy its working out now....hopefully if I have a daughter that goes to Duke, she can be a Phi too!!

Villanova Tri Delta recruitment

Bid day was Sunday. The advisor told me they took quota plus 1 but had no idea what quota was.

Were they under total after meeting quota or is that just a ridiculous number of QAs? Congratulations to your daughter and the Baylor Thetas in any event!

It is based on junior hours. I know several girls went to summer school and took lots of hours so they would be classified as a jr. and not a soph. at the end of this semster. By school standards they are a jr, probably in their mind and others they are just a Soph. It a good way of getting in a sorority if you had been through rush before or didn't go through your Freshman year because you didn't make grades. You have to have a 2.5 the first semester to go through rush but most sororites want at least a 2.75. It is no secret the Tri-Delt and Chi Omega want a 3.0. They generally cut these girls after the first round of parties this GPA which is based on your first sememster and transfer grades don't count. Ex summer school at a jr. college. At Baylor you can't even be a cheerleader until you have completed 12 hours with a 2.5
Same applies to fraternities. It was a big topic of discussion at my house during Christmas who did and didn't make grades.
