My goddaughter Rho Gam was very happy for her group. She texted me that each young woman got a bid to her first choice from pref night, and the 14 PNMs she had still going through the process went to 10 different chapters among them.

From what I have read about IU recruitment, those results sound like quite a feat! Well done to your goddaughter!

Thanks! She's a total sweetheart - seriously one of the kindest humans I know. She was very excited to be a rho gam this year and genuinely loved meeting all the rho gams from other houses and making friends with them. She kept telling me over and over how happy she was for her group, and she kept all but a couple of them from dropping out. Even the ones she convinced to stay in at sisterhood round stuck with it and ended up with a bid they liked.

As has already been mentioned, Chi O got 59 (56+3). TPA was just shy of quota with 52. DPhiE took 32. Still haven't seen confirmation regarding ASA, but there are reports that they took fewer than 10 new members. Part of the issue may be that ASA is typically the only unhoused chapter on campus, but this year they had to complete with TPA for the women who would prefer not living in a house.

From their Insta picture, looks like DPhiE may have around 30, TPA looks like around 50 in their pic, did see anything for ASA or Chi O.

My DD is a XO and the 59 number is correct. Congrats to all your D's that received bids last night! My DD loves her house, she is a junior & I was in a house at IU & made some lifelong friends!

Okay, I really don’t dig the way they have that on the website.

If they’re going to publicize that a group is holding an invite only event, they should put the date of the event as well, so the PNMs aren’t waiting for an invite that never comes.

33, do you hold your opinion because publicizing that some groups are holding Invite Only events leads pnms who await an invite to feel bad about not getting one? If IU didn't publicize which chapters are holding Invite Only events, the social internet boards would go crazy with speculation on which groups are/aren't holding them based upon rumor. Having actual dates and times listed for Invite Only events on the IU site could lead to people protesting that specific type of event, during the actual event, outside the houses.

So roughly half of the sororities didn't make quota? Even with snap bids?

It's not that chapters didn't make quota. IU does not have campus total, so chapters can decide for themselves how many members they want to have.

I am pretty sure only a few made didn’t make quota which could be the ones having the more open informal. This is the time that people start deciding to live out for fall so I imagine several chapters want to capture a few more kids for those purposes. I know Adpi made quota and it’s listed on invite only.
