Just also remember that the chapters are choosing their members. This is often forgotten by PNMs and it sets them up for heartbreak when the inevitable cuts happen.

At Bama the chapters must narrow a pool of 1600 PNMs to a pledge class of 80ish. Great girls will be cut just due to numbers.

I say this not to scare you off but to remind you to keep perspective on the whole thing. It would be very unwise to go in with favorites as it will only heighten the disapointment that will be felt should you get cut from that chapter.

Bama is full of wonderful chapters that all have great national reputations, stand for high ideals, and give back to the community through great philanthropies. You should be able to identify with some element of all of the chapters there.

Best of luck to you.

This scares me. How large are the chapters up there? in ten years we only had something like 80-90 brother initiated.

Looking only at the NPC orgs that participate in Formal Recruitment, the average chapter size at Bama is well over 200.
