Wasn't there someone from UGA on here last year saying stuff like 3/4 of the girls got dropped - just to make it sound more elite? I know that there's confusion sometimes but I honestly believe some of it is deliberate.

I used to hear similar rumors in college.

"Oh back in Georgia, we don't even set quota by dividing the number of PNMs returning to pref night by the number of chapters, we just choose a number that we want in order to make our chapters elite enough. Lots of girls go bidless."

Uh, yeah. If you say so.

Recruitment Stats for 2006 & 2007
Your information is correct. I'm looking at the statistics that UGA panhellenic gave us in their parent packet. It breaks down 2006 and 2007 by how many were released and how many withdrawn at each step of the way. To summarize, they are as follow:
2007 2006

# Starting Recruitment 1265 1285
# Pledged 940 940
# withdrawn 241 259
# released 42 6
# mismatched 42 8
Quota 56 55

It appears that about 75% of those who begin recruitment were actually pledged and about 25% are withdrawn, released or mismatched.

Edit: The columns did not work out. The first number on each line is 2007 and the second is 2006.

The one statistic that I heard was higher this year was the number released, right out of the box. That indeed could be a rumor.

If DoctorD is right and quota is 58... multiple that by 17 chapters and you get 986. Not all chapters may make quota, and some will go over, but that should give a *general* ballpark of girls getting bids.

It also seems more in line with what would be expected.

Tell your daughter to take a deep breath, and just hang in there.

I am SO relieved...I have been following UGA rush and was getting nervous as you relayed your daughter's story...hitting the refresh button WAY too often...congratulations to both of you, and I hope she has a wonderful bid day! Do keep us updated not only on where her new home is but also on bid day activities, once she tells you about them... we all need to re-live the magic!

Does anyone have numbers for all of the houses? I am a total failure at finding this out for myself.

UGA recruitment
Whoooaaaa!!!! One of the two girls I wrote a rec for at UGA went Zeta (not sure about the other one yet). I am so excited!!! I've known her since she was in the seventh grade. Been on the phone with her mom for the last hour explaining everything.

Jumping up and down!!!
