Alabama (Bama) recruitment 2011

Close. Being that there are women signed up to rush DG who didn't sign up at all for formal rush, your math is flawed. I'm sure there are senior girls going through, for instance, and none of them would be crazy enough to go through regular rush. And juniors too. And for that matter, a lot of sophomores. It could be 400+ girls who are signed up for DG who weren't on the original rolls, which could make the resulting percentage worse. That is not to say Bama does a bad job. They push a lot of girls through a small space in a short time, without too much bloodshed, as it were.

My guess is 5 minutes after DG pledges their colony people will be screaming for another expansion. Anyone taking bets on 2014?

Pledge rate - yes, lower than usual. Almost 300 either quit or were released by pref day. Many of those took themselves out to be eligible for DG.

3.0 - yes, that's what the "Greek Chic" publication lists, but in truth, many houses set their floors a good bit higher than that. They will occasionally take someone with a 3.0, but there would have to be other attributes the PNM could offer.

The university is already planning to add two more NPC sororities after Delta Gamma.

All I can say is that DG interviews are going very, very well. We will have new members on Sunday!!

When your top GPA Chapters have an average of 3.5, a 3.0 PNM would be a grade risk. I currently work with a chapter that has a chapter average of 3.5 and even though it is published that the minimum GPA is 2.3, the PNM with a 2.5 doesn't stand a chance.
