UGA Recruitment 2008...lots of questions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third round just wrapped up a couple of hours ago. DD and I are on pins and needles. I've been looking over this site and getting lots of information. Can anyone help me with a few questions:

While I realize there isn't an blanket policy regarding legacy cuts, how common are they (at UGA) after 3rd rounds? Worried that DD will be very disappointed if she doesn't get a invited back for prefs tomorrow! i think that it would depend on each chapters national policy on legacies and the courtesies extended them, and then whatever leeway the local chapter has within that policy.

Is it true that most UGA sororities are seeing between 50 and 100 legacies come through? can't say for sure, but i would say it is possible

Is it really more difficult for out-of-state pnms?i don't know

Do the larger sororities have to cut 75% after round 1? That means they go down from 1300 to 325? it is not how large the chapter size is, but the return rate of each chapter(how many invitations to the next round are extended and of those, the percentage that are accepted). a chapter with a near perfect return rate will have to cut more women initially, while a chapter with a lower return percentage will be able to invite more women back. those of us not working with the UGA chapters are not privy to those figures.

Also, what have been the dynamics of snap bidding and COB? How common is it? Can you actually get a bid from someone who cut you? theoretically you should be able to receive a bid from a chapter even if they had previously cut you. i have heard that some chapters(not necessarily at UGA) follow a cut once, always cut philosophy, but a lot of wonderful girls would fall thru the cracks if everyone adopted that code

Have all the sororities made quota in the recent past? Does anyone have any insight into this years' recruitment?most of the sororities at UGA pledge quota during formal recruitment.

Thanks for any answers!
