KK Bama, the MVP I advised last year is a CLC with your ladies this year! I have heard great things about the chapter and am looking forward to wonderful recruitment updates! I'm sending my love and pink carnations your way.

Thank you, thank you! Everything is going wonderfully this year for us. I'm heading down tonight to bunk up for 3 nights. I took tomorrow off work to help out my girls!

Wish we could have been there at the same time! It was so wonderful to be there helping, even though I had to park on the other side of the stadium! It was HOT HOT HOT!!!!!

The girls in the chapter are GREAT! The CLC Hayley is awesome - even though she is from my crosstown rival school

There were three of us Gamma Phi alums who drove all the way from Peachtree City to help (nearly 4 hr drive one way!) and we were very impressed with the chapter President - one of the other alums is a retired Army officer - I am retired AF - and we both commented on what great leadership skills Stephanie has! We thought the MVP really had her you-know-what together too. The house mom was very nice and the girls' moms who were there were just so sweet & helpful. I was happy to have made the trek to help!

Did I read correctly somewhere else that quota at 'Bama is around 100? Are pledge classes really that big?

(Putting on swami turban) I predict quota will probably be around 70 to 75...I think last year it was 80 or 82...you can see why UA brought in Alpha Phi last year and is scheduled to bring in another sorority.

Ole Miss hit a quota of around 92 a year or two ago.

Sheesh. Too big for me. I don't know how they have chapter meetings and not violate fire codes.

What makes you think they don't violate it - of course they do! Fire code is the reason they had to add more rush parties a couple of years ago - between the chapter members and the rushees, the fire marshall was freaking out.

The number I've heard for quote is around 75 for freshmen.

AnchorAlumna, actually after thinking about Alpha Phi's presence affecting the equation a little more, an overall quota of 70 to 75 isn't quite as steep a drop as I thought moments ago. You may very well be right on target!

When you say quota, do you mean just the freshman quota or the overall quota including the upperclassman quota? Because I think for rush in 2007, the freshman quota (the one I hear that's official) was 73 and the upperclassman quota was 7 for an overall unofficial quota of 80 and this year's total number signed up is a little higher than 2007 (although of course there's now one more sorority).

BTW, I think last years' Ole Miss quota was 84, it may well have been 92 shortly before that.

I heard skit day went very well at every house today. Tomorrow is a big day, Preference Day. The girls can visit up to three houses. Good luck to all. Zillini do you know what the quotes are for each house this year?

Overall.
Do you mean 2008? Instead of 2007? I had understood (thanks to Zillini) that the total amount starting was roughly the same as 2008...maybe a dozen or so less. Or more. But roughly the same.
Yes, having another sorority to put into the equation will definitely affect numbers.
I believe Ole Miss' quota was 92 a couple or three years ago.
