Thanks melongirl - you are explaining so many things in this thread and doing it so well! You rock.

So I'll ask another question - is it mainly the groups under total that COB? If not, how do they know they won't have enough people filling quota to participate?

Thanks!!

There are a couple of houses that are under house total. Even with quota, they may still be under "house total". They would be interested in doing COB.

There are also some houses that have come close to quota the past two years that may have sign-ups to have a net of girls in case they need to get to quota. As I said before, houses can COB on bid day and the girls are welcomed on bid day with the rest of formal rush and there is no stigma of being known as a "COB" pick.

melongirl, just asking -- I'm not criticizing: at UGA at other times during the year, i.e., after formal recruitment, is there actually a "stigma" connected to COB?

Oh no-- I didn't mean it that way!!

Just that tonight, no one except the chp. president, membership person and the member herself will know who came through formal and who cob. So everyone can bond as one group, have their pictures taken together tonight, etc. There won't be someone coming in two days later and missing the bid night photos, etc.

Sorry if wrote that sounding snotty!! did not intend that!

Melon Girl,
Will UGA Panhellenic eventually post a list of the new members of each sorority as was done at Auburn and Oklahoma State? Does anyone know?

not usually. they are strangely private compared to other SEC schools.

they will publish numbers of girls each house took-- but not names.

I think that's very sage in this day and time.

Agreed. As nice as it is to see who the people who received bids are, it may not be wise with reference to privacy issues.

Where are the number of pledges posted for UGA?

I don't! I think it's a very minor point as far as privacy's concerned. I'd rather see a list so I know who pledged where...can count and find out who missed quota...who from my hometown pledged where...
Auburn and Alabama are UNUSUAL that they publish the lists, and so quickly. Most university public relations departments don't want to bother.

Did you miss the BA episode on here? It takes very little information to stalk someone nowadays. At the very least, they should have all of the PNMs sign a privacy release when they sign up for rush, stating that their name and chapter can be published, should they recieve a bid.
