i hope it doesnt go any lower than 40! 40 would be a nice size pledge class- the girls would really get close to each other. what is the retention rate among the rushees? Have many dropped out?
Wow. That is low for UT. A lot of legacies are going to be disappointed. But hopefully, a lot of those girls will realize that all the chapters at UT are good ones, accept a bid from their second choices and end up having four wonderful years. They have to decide what they want more: To be in a particular chapter, or to be part of a sisterhood. This could be a good way to make all the chapters even stronger.
Just talked to my chapter's advisor. The latest figure I have heard is that quota will be between 38 and 42 with an upper classman quota of between 5 and 8. Upperclassmen were free invites against the chapter's release figures given by Panhellenic. I haven't heard any retention figures yet.
Wow again. I'll be interested to hear how many dropped out. Like I said before, there are going to be a lot of disappointed legacies.
Pi Phi has a rule that if we invited a legacy to preference, we have to give her a bid. Do other groups have the same rule? If so, many of those decisions already have been made, and I wonder how that affected the number who returned for preference.
