Bama Sorority Recruitment 2010

[KSUViolet06]

My biggest advice for parents (especially at these big schools):

Cuts will come. Some of your girls might get cut very heavily at some point.

Try to remember that in the end, you only get ONE BID.

So while she might be upset about having maybe only 4 or 5 chapters one day while everyone else has close to a full schedule, encourage her to keep going in the process.

In the end, all it takes is one.

Violet is so right about this.

I'm not trying to PR my own thread or anything, but I think it might be helpful for the Bama moms to read the Bama rush thread that I did for my sister a few years back... it definitely shows that the cuts will come, but all that matters is finding the "right one."

And remember that not everyone else actually has a full schedule. Even if it feels like it.

Thus far there are around 1600 women signed up for recruitment...about 300 more than last year. I would think that quota would be a bit higher than last year's just based on that (as long as all show up and participate in first round).

Quota may not be that much higher since Bama colonized a new sorority last fall, didn't they?

Alpha Phi recolonized in fall 2008 and were officially installed in spring 2009. I would think that first "dip" in quota would have been higher in 2008.

Wow ... time really does get away from me. I remember all the discussion when they came in. Seems like it was just last year!
