Anyone know how Michigan went? I heard quota was 60+

I'm Delta Zeta's membership advisor at Kent State so my numbers come straight from ICS.

I stand corrected! Those are pretty big numbers in comparison to past years (if you've been advising for awhile, you can probably attest to that!)

I wouldn't be surprised if they started looking into expansion again in the next 2-3 years.

622 girls registered for recruitment at the University of Rhode Island, which is a school record.

I don't think we hit 300 when I was there. This makes me so so happy!

Here's a link to the Stater's KSU Bid Day article, too!

Article about this year's recruitment numbers at Tufts. 308 went through recruitment, up from 185 in 2012 (they didn't give 2013 numbers). The article also goes on to explain some of Tufts "guaranteed bid" process.

So even with Tufts' much heralded "guaranteed placement" brand of recruitment, they still only placed 70% of the ones who started the process. Presumably the ones who didn't place either withdrew voluntarily or met one of the criteria described below.

Morgen added, however, that if a Potential New Member (PNM) went through the process in previous years and dropped out, she is no longer guaranteed a bid.

“When a PNM previously had an opportunity to be in a sorority and turned the bid down, we see it as them no longer maximizing all of their options,” Morgen said.

Williams explained that there are other circumstances under which a bid is no longer guaranteed.

“If [girls] miss a party due to another commitment, [they] aren’t promised a bid,” Williams said. “We try not to hold it against them because it is a legitimate excuse, so they can still rank all parties they attend.”

Article from University of Chicago's newspaper. Title says that there has a 26% increase in Panhellenic numbers, but the article says 62% increase.

This year's increase (2014 over 2013) was 26%. The increase from 2011-2014 is 62 %

This is one of my favorite threads to read! Good luck to PNMs and sororities as this recruitment season kicks off for the 2015-16 year.

[ARKTTKA]

University of Arkansas Greek Life announced 1598 women have registered for recruitment. Another record year.

[WalkintheWoods]

University of Missouri (Mizzou) PHA tweeted 1890 PNMs registered for this year's recruitment!

[southernbuff]

Reading through a few different pages, I thought I'd post the listed recruitment numbers that have been shared:

Alabama 2437 registered PNMs, per Titchou
Auburn 1600+ registered PNMs, per HQwest
Kentucky 1460 registered PNMs, per Ladybug 8484
Florida 1518 registered PNMS, per Happy Alum

The SEC is going crazy for sure...any updates from other parts of the country?

Tennessee Panhellenic tweeted a couple days ago that the 1000th girl to sign up for recruitment would get refunded and go through for free, and registration ended today so I would guess they're around 1000 girls.

UGA posted a couple weeks ago that over 1,400 girls were signed up and then pushed the registration date back so it's definitely over that at this point. I'm sure someone more involved with their recruitment has a final number since they start tomorrow.

South Carolina tweeted that they had 1618 girls register for recruitment.

[Just interested]

I heard Texas is expecting about 1200 maybe a little less. Right about what it was last year.

Last I heard, Texas A&M was expecting around 1400 but haven't heard if it was reached or not. Last Chance registration is this week and it closes at noon on Friday.
