Yes it is.
At the conclusion of 2009 Formal Recruitment in August all Chapters* at Bama were at/above Chapter Total of 180.
(The idea of raising Total has been thrown out there, but as yet it is nothing more than talk.)
* Except SDT which is does not participate in Formal Recruitment.

I know this is a hot button issue, but is there plans for expansion? This seems like a HUGE number for chapter total, especially when recruitment is as competitive as it is. A big house is great, but I'm just thinking of the logistics of fitting that many girls in 1 room!

Alpha Phi just chartered and another NPC already selected will have the opportunity to go on in either 2010 or 2011.

Anyone have any idea how many girls SDT took? I have an SDT conference call tonight so I'm planning on asking but I was wondering if any of you ladies would know!

Practically everyone agrees Bama could easily expand strictly from a numbers standpoint. However, on this campus it is not as simple as throwing open the doors. In order for any new Chapter to be successful it would require a comparable physical house. That's big bucks (several million) in a lousy economy where credit is tight and donating alumnae have tightened their purse strings. The University is converting an area behind the Chi O house (for those who know the campus) to lots for houses, but there have been delays.
Back in spring 2008, 2 GLO's were selected to recolonize with staggered start dates. Alpha Phi came in fall 2008 and Delta Gamma was scheduled for fall 2010. However, we (the other sororities) have been informed that DG has requested a delay until 2011. The common assumption is that the building delays with those new lots is the primary reason.

I haven't even heard any rumors. Hopefully once the fall Chapter Rosters are turned into Panhellenic (I believe they are due this week) we will hear.

Hopefully! If you can pass along anything you hear that would be great.

SDT is really small compared to most of the chapters at Bama, and it would be totally impossible for us to be competitive in FR. Instead of closing down the chapter (it's our Rho chapter, so single letter, lots of history and tradition) we take part in the first round and drop out. After FR is over we COB.
From what I understand the Rho girls doubled the chapter size last year. I'm hoping for an update on this year!

I'm not sure...I know they were having issues back when I was active (2003-2006).

Not a whole lot of new info here, and not necessarily accurate - I think 13 was the number they pledged last year, not their total number. But hey, publicity is GOOD!
