According to their national website, Alpha Delta Pi pledged 122 women for their new colony at Wake Forest University.

^^^ Thanks. We all know what happens at DPU when one chapter closes. This makes me sad. I have three friends that were DGs in the 80s at DPU.

Spring formal recruitment at Gannon University was last weekend.

AFAIK, 67 PNMs went through, and quota was set at 7.

The only group I have actual numbers for (at this time - I've messaged the alum relations coordinator and she said she's going to get back to me) is Alpha Gamma Delta, who took 9 baby squirrels. This makes 18 for the school year, which is almost half the chapter (if total is still at 40, which I think it is).

The other good news coming out with no other numbers is that Phi Sigma Sigma had a great year as well - when I was there they were one of the smaller chapters on campus but the Greek Advisor is very proud of them - they're not in any sort of number trouble now! I'll probably post again when she gives me more information.

Thanks for posting that! I've been so focused on our W&L colonization, I clean forgot about Wake Forest! Does anyone know which society that was, way back when?

This is a shame. With nearly 60,000 students you would think they could fill 14 chapters of 100. In my years there, nearly all 18 chapters reached a total of 105. My pledge class had 36.

I just hope that with allowing the larger houses to go over quota it doesn't push the smaller ones out.

I have to admit, when ADPi closed there (I think AOII has the ADPi house), I had mixed feelings. They had a decently sized chapter, but only three would live in the house - which means more about the housemother than the chapter to me. On the other hand, my chapter got the lion share of their furniture - which was very much needed at the time!

The FIJIs are in the old ADPi house and the AOPis are in the ZTA house. I know the Zeta housing corp still owns that house, but I'm unsure about the FIJi/ADPi. I feel bad because the ADPi house was always kept up until the guys moved in.

However, the old FIJI house (which was enormous) are now apartments as are the old Phi Mu, SDT and ATO houses. A lot has happened since the 1980s.

Hey Honeychile I know this is a late response.... but better late than never.

ADPi was formed by from Phoenix Society.

Benzgirl,
Have you been in the former ADPi house lately to know that it isn't being kept up now? I know the Fiji's House Corp. did a lot of work before they movie in, and it still looks pretty good on the outside. Just wondered what it is like inside at this point.

I haven't, but a friend of mine (who was an ADPi) has. I think a lot of it has to do with the pristine look of a sorority house where all furniture coordinates with the wall coverings and furnishings vs. walking in and seeing guys with their feet up on the furniture. I know that is stereotyping, but she said, "it's really sad".

Yep, Clayton is a colony. I don't think that's been posted anywhere else, thanks for the update! Any word on how the ASA colony there is doing?

Depauw is a big "tradition" school. One of my friends and her hubby both went to DPU. Her parents and two sisters went there and now her daughter is there. Every one of them was Greek (not necessarily all the same chapter).

Even though DPU received a black eye from the DZ incident, students continue to go through recruitment. I think what the bad press really did was lessen the stigma of being an Independent rather than reduce the number of Greeks.

Syracuse bid day today!

Quota was 42, Gamma Phi Beta took quota and I believe a few more! Its only day one, but I think we have 43. I'm so excited, and I'll post more when I know how the other houses did!

DG got 45. After the 'drama' that happened with the computers, I'm glad that things still turned out well.

I'm glad too...the computer issue had me really worried for a while. But, from what I heard most recently, I think all houses took quota except two.
