Northern Woman Getting Bids at an SEC School

[carnation]

I'm an Arkansas alum and I find that hard to believe too. I doubt that UA could find 5 new sororities who would come. There are at least 5 nationals that have folded there--good, strong ones--and you can bet if they folded, most of the rest are saying, 'No way." I don't even think those 5 have any desire to come back.

I also doubt that 2000 girls signed up for recruitment.

I have the recruitment stats for Arkansas for the past 8 years right in front of me. 2,000 is not even in the right ballpark. The number of women registered varies but every year it hovers around 475-500. It has been steadily increasing, however. The number who withdrew is around 75 each year. The number released is usually around 15-20.

Also, I can tell you that there is no way there are 5 new sororities coming. There has been speculation of one additional sorority, depending on AOII's results.

I don't know how many that dropped because of grades, but I do know that something like 1,500 went thru.

No, sweetie, that's how many delusions went through your head.

(Can I add "bless your heart" here? Someone from the South help me out.)

I wish you wouldn't speak of what you don't know.

I'd think that irishpipes' info was more credible than the other numbers that were posted in this thread.

Funny, one could say the same thing for you.

Are you stupid?

For 7 sororities, quota is 75. That puts it at over 500 because nearly every sorority makes quota. However, this year AOPi did not participate in rush and took around 95. Even further more, usually over a hundred to a hundred and fifty girls. Over half the freshman girls class rushes.
