Wow. That's a LONG day.

What time did parties start for them today? Did they at least get SOME time to sleep?

Today was Video Day. The original schedule was to attend parties from 11 in the morning until 6:10 in the evening. I do not know if that was followed. After the visits the pnms rank the chapters as Preference is tomorrow morning. Bid Night is Sunday evening at 8 o'clock.

This recruitment is taking place the first week of classes and ending on the weekend.

This is unofficial information. Over 850 pnms were registered. A large number of pnms withdrew when the party schedule went from 5 to 2. Quota was 51. All houses made quota, except the newest chapter. One chapter had 11 quota additions. Each chapter was allowed to take two juniors which did not count towards quota.

Oh. My. Goodness.
At least it's California. The only thing that could be harder than such a long day is doing it all in the cold. When I rushed through formal recruitment, the windchill on sisterhood day was -18* F. On philanthropy day, -36*. It's a miracle I didn't drop out due to my face freezing off.

One of my friends in LA said it hit the high 90s today and they're predicting it to be triple digits tomorrow.

I still don't know which is worse...freezing cold? or scorching heat?

An article from the Daily Trojan has the official numbers from Panhellenic. No numbers for a particular chapter are mentioned.

Officially registered.....842
Number who accepted bids......539

This was a 7% decrease from last year.

These numbers are from an article in the DT on Sept. 1, 2009.

There are about 1350 women in the SC freshmen class.

Are they getting any of the smoke from the fires in SoCal?

Ohhhh yes. The smoke isn't as bad as when we have Santa Ana conditions along with the fire, but there is definitely the smell and the oddly filtered sunlight. The fires themselves have been horrible -- can't even imagine what this would look like if we had the wind to go with it.

I remember the filtered sunlight from when we had fires my first year at Pepperdine. It is really odd...not dark, yet not light. Like a sepia photograph.
