UGA Recruitment Winds Down

I think the web guy has been sick longer than that! Panhellenic doesn't even have spring grades up. I don't think they post stats anymore.

I have it on very good authority that there is a new person in place learning the ropes and the list will be posted soon.

Great! I'll pencil in some stalking!

Glad to know the Greek life office is getting back together at Georgia!

Speaking from my experience with a very large and very competitive Recruitment, re-inviting a PNM who you dropped or who dropped you in a previous round can be done. With the ICS program it is not difficult because all you need to do is go to a previous round's invitation/selection screen where the PNMs name was still listed as an option. (I don't know about any of the other programs used for Recruitment.) However, it does not happen often and only when there is some sort of unique/extreme circumstance.

With that being said though, switching from the old accept/regret to preferential ranking has made this more complicated. The reason being PNMs rank the chapters they attended immediately following the parties -- before the chapters invitation lists are submitted. The PNM would have no idea that XYZ chapter wants to re-invite her and so she wouldn't include them on her ranking list.

Therefore a phone call to Panhellenic is necessary. If the PNM doesn't have a full schedule the re-inviting chapter can be easily added, assuming the PNM wants to accept. If the PNMs schedule is already full, Panhellenic can give her the option to accept the re-invite then cut one of the chapters on her schedule. Or if a PNM had withdrawn from Recruitment (either voluntarily or totally cut) then Panhellenic needs to contact her otherwise she wouldn't even know she had an invitation out there.

Wow, chapter TOTAL at my school is about the same as the size of a NM class at UGA.

ETA: Let the speculation about numbers and tiers and sizes and stigmas start now.

I can't speak to tiers or stigma, but there's been a lot of progress by a lot of groups in membership.

It looks like pretty good news, really. It might be a realistic goal that every group be at total sometime this year.

For example, at San Diego State house size was about 100-125, in the past 3 years new member classes have grown and house total is now 180+ which has created all sorts of new challenges. Housing , budgeting etc. And it can show it is time to add a new chapter.

That's my 2 cents

It's not up to those on GC to decide whether or not UGA needs another chapter. That is up to the school's Panhellenic.

Why is it so important for GC to know what each chapter's size is? It's not. I find it incomprehensible that people would rather know and make it harder for the smaller chapters to recruit b/c of it.

I also think it shows that, as I posted earlier this season, in one of these threads, that all the chapters are so large that you are bound to find a group within the larger group with whom you feel "at home" whether you are a scholar, athlete, party girl, introvert, leader, follower, actress, musician, cheerleader, etc. However, happening to meet that group during recruitment rotation is a roll of the dice, isn't it?
