Canadian Recruitment numbers down

[AGDee]

I received an email from one of our very active Alpha Gams in Toronto who is very active Panhellenically and very insightful as to trends in Canada. She is comparing quota this year to the last couple years (not just last year when two years of high school students graduated simultaneously) She is wondering if we are seeing the same trends in the U.S. or in certain regions of the US:


"UBC – 15 down from usually mid-20s

U of Calgary – 4 down from usually low teens

U of Alberta – 11 down from 17 last year

U of Manitoba – 3 down from usually ~10

U of Western Ontario - 17 down from usually mid to high 20s (historically mid 30s)

U of Toronto – 6 down from 7 last two years

Dalhousie – 5 bids accepted (this campus does not use a quota system)

I am still collecting the quota results from other Canadian campuses where AGD does not have a chapter (there are 8 such campuses)."

Quota was about the same at the one Michigan chapter that reports to me, and the other chapter I work with in Michigan is just about to start Recruitment, so I'm not sure how are our trends are yet...

Any thoughts?
