7 is the max # of invites for tomorrow; last year, as I recall, it was late late late on Monday when the bid list was posted....

Hello Mike, welcome - I've seen you on College Confidential...
Go here http://www.greeklife.ua.edu/docs/Fal...%20revised.pdf
Roughly speaking, 83% pledged, but that doesn't really answer your question. Plus, even if you analyze the figures and come up with an answer, there are some girls who get bids to join, but don't like them and never show up at the house. Or never return for that first new member meeting. Not many, but there are some.

With any luck Zillini will show up here after it's all over and give us some stats.

While you're looking at the spreadsheet, note how many started recruitment in 2001 vs. 2009 - from 708 in 2001 to 1457 in 2009. Wow.

On our campus we have a DKD (Delta Kappa Delta) that is traditionally made up of South Asian girls?

But I have no idea what DKD could possibly mean for Bama.

Maybe an inside joke then?

Although I'd much rather hear updates on the ladies going through recruitment than find out what DKD is.

My fav Bama PNM is down to one but I think it's one she could pull out if she steps it up. What a long week but we knew going in this was going to be.....well.....an interesting week. Awesome news from the other PNMs. My fav Auburn PNM seems to be doing great. Preffing three tonight!

Just heard from both of my Bama girls. One of them has 7 invites, including all of her favorites. The other has 6 invites, including 2 of her favorites. Best wishes to all girls today! Skit day is so much fun!
