Thanks! I hope I end up in one too...with only 52% of us typically getting bids, it's a little intimidating! I'm keeping my fingers crossed though and an open mind.

52% typically get bids with 19 houses? That seems awfully low. How many women do you have go through recruitment and what is the average chapter size?

According to my Rho Gamma, 1523 signed up for recruitment, which is a a few hundred less than in years past. I'm not sure how many dropped before 19 Party. We use bed quotas at IU, so the average chapter PC ranges anywhere from 30-50 girls, obviously some go a little above and some go a little below. A lot of girls get cut for not making the GPA requirements, though, after final grades come out over winter break. I had heard somewhere that out of the PNM's who make it to Pref Day, 87% end up receiving a bid. I'm not sure how accurate that is though.
