Attendance is also taken at each party for each round (so they know in minutes). If you skip a party because you dont like the chapter, but attend other parties, that isnt good. Most Panhellenics will automatically withdrawal a PNM from the recruitment process for doing that and rightfully so.

Go to the parties with fresh eyes.

Pretend that there are no others and that these are the only chapters you've encounter. It helps you to really focus on whether you can see yourself in one of them (instead of on all the
groups that cut you.)

Also, remember that whether you have a full slate, or 2 or one, you can only get one bid.

Violet, that is great advice! (from a first time poster, but a long time lurker!!!)

^ My Ohio friend (KSUViolet) is very wise.

Now that it is down to the final three, you have a great opportunity to deeply consider those three as individual chapters, not as three blips in the whirlwind of recruitment. Forget that the others exist. Focus on these chapters. Have fun!

Does anybody know what time is squeal?
What did quota end up being?
When/Where can we expect names and hometowns posted?

The PNM's report to the stadium at 945 this morning
Squeal is at 11
Brunch at the sorority houses after that!

Not sure when the list will be posted. It usually takes a few hours.

Per a sister in Alabama, freshman quota is 73 and upperclassman quota is 7.

Hmmm. A tad lower that last year.

Don't look for the bid list to be posted until Monday sometime, or even Tuesday. The UA News Bureau, which posts it, is off for the weekend!

But with RFM they could have placed more women since quota can be adjusted to place the most women including QA's.

I think it was 72 and 5 last year....total number placed will be a better indication...

Last year, this was posted the Monday afternoon after recruitment, I believe.

About the "4 preference parties"...Were there 4 time slots allotted for preference parties (where PNMs could visit a maximum of 3 chapters) or was 4 the maximum number of preference parties a PNM could attend?
