Tri Delta actually took 130, not sure where you got 140

Football Fan · #3 08-19-2015, 12:16 PM

You are correct. It is 130.

I know one of the new Pi Beta Phi girls. I didn't know she was old enough yet!

Benzgirl · #5 08-15-2015, 09:38 PM

My Rec Girl went Pi Phi. That is three Alabama Pi Phis from my area in 3 years.

Kappa Alpha Theta put a picture of their 2015 new member class on their twitter page, I counted more than 150 new members, maybe some of you all could get a more accurate count!

The new houses are very big,if Greek life cools off at Alabama the notes on these houses will be hard to pay.

I felt the same way too until I got more "inside" information.

The most these houses sleep is 70. Most of the chapters at BAMA now have 400+ members. There are plenty of sorority houses nation-wide that sleep more women and have much smaller chapter numbers (in the 200-250 range).

I think it would take something catastrophic to happen for these chapters to not be able to pay for their new houses. Most of these house corporations had large sums of money in reserve waiting for this day to happen (millions of dollars).

I'm not an Alabama native, but I sure know a lot of women who are. From what I understand, there hasn't been much in the way of building or major remodeling on Colonial Drive or Magnolia since the 1960s. All of this new construction is very timely, and with the exponential increase in membership, also needed. The public spaces of the new houses are large enough to accommodate the record high numbers of members for sisters and social functions ... including recruitment, but the bedrooms for the in-house sisters are still modest.

Still, I think it is a shame that the houses still cannot sleep even an entire pledge class. My sister-in-law and I both had daughters at UA at the same time (we were pregnant together twice), and while my daughters were officers in Tridelt and were able to live at the house their junior and senior years, my nieces were ZTA and never got the chance to live in the house at all. Gone are the days when you could move into the house when you were a freshman.

Also, on their facebook page, Pi Beta Phi announced they took 137.

Bamamom16 · #13 08-16-2015, 09:59 PM

ADPi took 130.

Please, someone, help this old brain out.

If quota is set by the number of women attending pref divided by the number of chapters, and quota is 120(+7), how is it all the chapters are showing numbers so far OVER quota? That should be mathematically impossible, shouldn't it?

I was wondering about these large numbers also. I think yesterday, someone posted a link to an article which seemingly said that invitations were extended so that "everyone" who stayed in recruitment received a bid ... or something like that.
