Round one is complete and round two takes place today. As predicted, heavy cuts were mandated for many chapters. Based on what my daughter is saying, I would say over 50% were released from some houses after round 1.
My daughter was a little stressed about those heavy cuts but was expecting them. I imagine tonight will hit her harder because things will be tougher as they continue to whittle down the list.

Yeah they've been locked inside pretty badly. Just excited to hear the results, wish I could get up there this year.

Holy moly, 104 new members? How big is your house at the moment? How many seniors graduated last year? How much of a percentage growth is that? What is "average" number of members/new members this year?
I have to say this again, I love the Greek houses at U of A. When we visit my inlaws, we usually try to spend a day in Fville. I haven't seen any other Alpha chapters, so seeing the Chi O house is treat.
PS My niece plans to go there in Fall 2013, and I don't know if she is interested in going through recruitment, but I hope to be able to hook her up here and with other resources.

I am stunned and remembering the days of bed rush at Arkansas when the group could only take as many girls as they had bed space for, which was usually 25-30. The minute rush was over, the new members moved in.

Congrats to Psi Chapter!
And now the work begins! To welcome each new member, get to know each one, teach each one about Chi Omega and to instill the life-long honor and responsibility that it is to be a Chi Omega.
What a rich and proud heritage Chi Omega has at the University of Arkansas, but this is not a birthrite...it is a responsibility to uphold that excellence year after year. Good luck, dear Sisters.
