It could well be that they don't want to post the list until they know if all those given a bid accepted.

I am dying to know if any of my recs went Gamma Phi - I'm over the moon at the news of their great recruitment!

My Daughter is at Alabama now and I graduated from there many years ago. Bear Bryants wife Mary Harmon was indeed an Alpha Gam. Saban did go through rush. My neighbors daughter was in her rho chi group. Have not heard where she pledged yet.

Yes, and their granddaughters, Stella Gray Bryant and Mae Martin Bryant, pledged back in the mid-'80s.

How bout' that! I remember a cute picture in a book about the Bear with Mae Martin when she was a little girl placing a Houndstooth hat on a smiling Grandad's head when he was with (if I remember right) the New York Jets' owner at the time right when the Bear started wearing Houndstooth's! Before then, I think he wore Brown Fedora's on the sideline!

Oops!! I just looked at that picture on page 355 of "The Last Coach." According to the description, it was grandaughter Mary Harmon Tyson, not Mae Martin Bryant. Don't know why I remembered it wrong!! Was right in every other detail!!

Way to go Gamma Phi Beta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You rock!!!!!!!

I'm tickled PINK and BROWN !!

If quota was 72+5 upperclassmen....even with snap bids, how did GPhiB get up to 105? That seems like a HUGE amount of snap bids, correct me if I'm wrong?

Those were probably quota additions not snaps.

I am just amazed by the size of these pledge classes. Congrats to everyone on a successful recruitment!

AOII Angel is correct, quota additions is the most common situation.

My Daughter who is at Alabama tells me that Nick Saban's daughter pledged Phi Mu. Congratulations to them!!!
