How are there already girls signing up for recruitment? I mean, I know Bama takes recruitment seriously, but I have never heard of girls signing up in February or March!

If I recall correctly, sign-up occurs very early in the year. Girls have to get their alumni recommendations in line quickly. It took Kristen quite some time to make her alumni contacts, interview, etc. I recall the notice of sorority recruitment being issue right after University acceptance.

I think a lot of girls start putting together alum recs even before they register for recruitment at these SEC schools.

According to the Bama Panhel website, registration has not begun yet for fall 2007 recruitment. My guess is that, like AnchorAlumna said, this is a ballpark number based upon the number of women accepted for 2007.

if you look here you can see how sorority enrollment has more than doubled in the past 6 years. Obviously with pledge classes of over 80 girls would be cause for expanding greek life.

I've heard that Bama will be getting either 1 or 2 more sororities, and that it's doubtful that any would be sororities that have already been on campus.

Also, they're sort of redoing Sorority Row and tearing down Mallet and whatever other dorms are next to the Sorority Row parking lot to build new houses.

It's really all a bunch of rumor until it's said and done, though. I suppose they'll have to lower house total when the time comes.
