Sororities at my school have done it in the past, but no one did it this year. I always thought it was cute!

At Duke all the sororities always did pledge class lists (I don't remember fraternities doing it). The campus newspaper also does an article with a chart of results for all the sororities and fraternities after recruitment!
At Cal they never did the lists, while I was an advisor there anyway.

At my school, chapters that missed quota often made up additional names to look like they hadn't...you often saw names of actives, or the occasional "Cameron Diaz" pledging a chapter.

Doesn't UofI have quotas normally upwards of 50? Do people seriously sit there with the paper counting each pledge class to see who did and didn't make quota??

Most interested sorority members would know who did or did not make quota in formal rush, er, recruitment, wouldn't they? We always did.

Because of the funky way we had Quota when I went through Ru.. Recruitment, counting in each ad really was the only way you'd find out how many new members each sorority took. It was also the only way you'd find out who went where.
Oh, and t*p, we'd put a last initial, if there were a lot of women with the same names. I can remember one page of ads with literally every sorority having at least one Amanda! (Amanda A., Amanda B., Amanda C....)

Yes. 
And I used to love those ads too, we used to put them in for everything! Pledge classes, seniors graduating, sisters going away for internships, congratulations for awards, thank yous to other houses participating in our philanthropy, to greek week partners, etc. They were so cute!

UF did it while I was there. And they would do it again for new initiated classes. I do not think all sororities did- but many did place ads.

Some of my sisters and I had a good laugh when we found a scrapbook from years ago with Collegian cut-outs of all of those sorts of ads! There were literally ads for EVERYTHING... you really don't see that too much here, anymore.

I use to see non-greek groups sending 'personals' to one another that were really ads for their events.
"Hey John - Will you be at the Campus Center Movie on Thursday at 7pm in the Auditorium? I will! Love, Jenny" you get the idea..
I thought these & the greek ads were great! They showed a lot of 'spirit'!
