T & P's to the chapter!

That was the AXO house at the University of Iowa in Iowa City (Big 10)--

I'm at KU, and we are in the middle of Day 2 (the second day of open house). The girls went to 7 houses yesterday (Sunday). Today they went to 3 before lunch, right now we have lunch until 1:00, and then they will go to their remaining 3 houses this afternoon!

1st invites (Philanthropy) is tomorrow, the girls will go to max 8 houses. 2nd invites (entertainment/house tours) is on Wednesday, and the girls will go to a max of 5 houses. Thursday: school starts, and there is no recruitment. Friday evening is Pref night. The girls will go to max 3 houses, and then Saturday afternoon is Bid Day!

RockChalk2010, the online version of the Kansan said about 780 women are going through recruitment at KU this year. Is that number fairly accurate?

The Des Moines Register says that Kappa Alpha Theta hosted them. Alpha Chi Omega will continue recruitment using the Beta Sigma Psi fraternity house. Best wishes, of course.

Just wondering: did Theta host them because of "DePauw Duo" feelings and traditions? No matter what the reason, good to see greeks helping other greeks at a difficult time.

More likely because Theta is less than a half-block away.

I'm glad no one was hurt and hope the members will be able to go back soon. I don't know if Alpha Chi had a sprinkler system or not...

oldrushee did your daughter say how many women were going through at Iowa State? I'd be curious to see how those numbers compare to last year.

was actually hoping that you were there helping out and had the numbers

Just an update from KU:

We have 13 sororities here. We are in the middle of 1st invites right now. 8 rounds today of philanthropy. Open house (which was on Sunday and Monday) started out with about 780 girls. About 60 dropped, which leaves us with around 710-720. (I'm not sure on the actual number).

For open house round, my chapter had a 99.4% return rate, with only TWO girls who did not place us in their top 8! Panhellenic made us cut our invite list down a lot because of this, but we are very excited to have such an astounding return rate for open house!!
