Wow, that's awesome!

Do they allow for COR up to what Quota was due to graduations and/or depledging? If not, I'm curious why the special circumstance occurred. Seems to defeat the purpose of total if it's not going to be stuck to anyway... Then again, I always thought that quota above total was freebies, if you lost members due to graduation or whatever other reason, as long as you were above total, you couldnt pick anymore up...

nonetheless - congrats on the new members....

I'm pretty sure one of my former students is a new member. And she's a great girl! Yea, Gamma Phi!

I'll be seeing GBPhiLtColonel and the other GBP's at our Panhellenic Founder's Day Annual shindig so I'll say congrats to them.

Best of luck to the new colony.

Thanks for sharing such a great story.

Unfortunately the recruitment process that my daughter went through did not come out with a happy ending.

Fawn Liebowitz · #11 02-07-2008, 06:14 PM

Was your daughter invited to parties but didn't receive a bid, hollywin?

I'm sorry her ending wasn't a happy one...what happened?

It is my understand that formal recruitment is very competitive at UGA, so I would imagine it would be tough for a sophomore to get a bid.

Maybe one of the UGA GCers can answer this, isn't spring recruitment over for the year (or is it still going on)?

Hollywin, I'm sure your daughter knows plenty of sorority women by now. Could she mention her interest in a sorority to them? Maybe she could be picked up informally this semester. Did she register for spring recruitment and not get any invites?

UGAalum94 · #15 02-07-2008, 06:52 PM

All this is my opinion based on my own observations, not anything official in any way.

It's more difficult but not impossible to get a bid as a sophomore

Some groups won't really look seriously at sophomores.

There's another set of groups who might be open to sophomores who are already close friends with a group of members and are extremely well qualified PNMs but this set of groups isn't really going to look at sophomores that they don't know and/or aren't spectacular.

Then there are groups that have sophomores as a part of the pledge class every year.

The cuts after first round for anyone who isn't a freshman will probably hurt badly, and there's like to be another set of painful cuts right after bid lists are made when groups look at chapter inventories and see that they can't afford to take as many sophomores as perhaps they'd like to bring back.

But a well qualified sophomore PNM with good character can often find a place in a GLO at UGA.

However, girls need to keep in mind that the pool of groups they have open to them is not likely to expand in sophomore year unless they've made some deep friendship with many girls in some of the GLOs that they didn't know anyone in the year before. The pool of groups interested in a particular PNM is likely to be a reduced number of the groups who were interested in her as a freshman.

You don't typically get cut as a freshman and then rush as a sophomore and get invited back more places.

If you rushed and dropped out freshman year, you're likely to be looking at the groups you had on your party list minus a couple when you dropped, not a new and expanded list. Be realistic. Make sure you are really rushing with an open mind or don't bother.
