lol, I think KU in general is having more freshmen then expected this year; I heard that there is even going to be temporary housing for the people who were late on Res Hall Contracts b/c they're already so full o.0
I'm so glad I asked about all this stuff...it's helped ALOT. Now I'll be able to go into recruitment feeling much more confident about what to do during the week.
I called Greek affairs at both KU and K-State today. KU anticipates about 860 girls for recruitment and K-State about 635. It's not 1500+ like at Alabama , but it's a big year for us!!

It must be a trend in the Big XII schools. I talked to my coworker who's daughter is going through Recruitment at Iowa State and she said they have almost 500 PNMs going through there. That is a *HUGE* jump; I think last year the number was closer to 300-350. They had to add on extra parties to the days to help accommodate the increase in PNMs.

K-State had prefs yesterday and handed out bids last night. My daughter emailed, and hopefully she was coherent at 2:30 AM when she wrote it!! She was thrilled to announce that the K-State Thetas pledged 47 awesome new members!! She was so excited (and exhausted!) I don't know what quota was, but last year it was 41 so this is pretty huge! Or as my daughter said, "Isn't that a crazy ton?" (Back in my day, I had a big pledge class at 28! The years after me were 23 and 25.)
Update October 4, 2008: U of Kansas (KU) List of NPC New Members Fall 2008
The KU press release (looks like the initial sort offered is by Kansas counties and other states; this is what they're offering, folks, I'm just passing the info along):
Edited to add: It might be just the way it's displaying for me, but -- fair warning -- in a few places I checked names were occasionally duplicated. Yes, I don't know why.
