Congrats to all the new members!
Special shoutout to BSCAXOalum's PNM, who was able to join our lovely sisterhood of Alpha Chi Omega =)

THANK YOU Miriverite! It was awfully fun to see a cousin become a soon-to-be sister!

I spoke to Stephanie before she left to be with her new sisters this afternoon. She was thrilled! She told me all about her temporary big sister, all the goodies she had given her (in great detail), how she's a baby turtle, and that she's changing her dorm colors (from black, white and pink) to black white, pink and green.

I'm sad to report that she kindly told me that now that recruitment was over, she thought we should start limiting our calls to once a day.

I was sad for a moment...But, after pondering her words, I've decided to be happy that she's making friends and feels comfortable enough to cut me down to once a day.

On another note, my friend has twins going through sorority recruitment at different colleges. I believe one of them begins soon...she's going to Arkansas. I'm going to try to get her to begin posting updates. This was too much fun!

Thanks for all the encouragement and support. You are a sweet community!

Looks like my Auburn rec didn't get a bid . . .or dropped out.

IrishLake · #6 08-14-2010, 08:49 PM

Belle, I'm sorry to hear that

Recruitment ended today but WELCOME WEEK just started today at 5:00 pm. Please encourage your girls to participate in the activities. The University really does a lot to make it a memorable event for incoming students and help them feel like part of the AUBURN Family. The WELCOME WEEK committee volunteers countless hours and stays in Auburn all summer to plan and organize this event. This year's event is going to be GREAT!

Ok sorry I'm still a tad confused on RFM... ok since quota was 57 (ish) and Theta (please note I only used this specific chapter as it has been mentioned as to the numbers of girls they took) took 75 members they had 18 quota additions. Correct? Ok question one when someone becomes a quota addition do they go to the group who had them highest on their bidlist, or do they immediately go to the chapter the pnm listed first. Also when one group takes that many quota additions or even just a few chapters taking one or two quota additions does this normally leave one or a few groups significantly under quota? Because to me it would seem if you took 100 pnms and divided them by 10 groups this would make quota 10. SO if one group took quota plus 7 would that leave one group (or several) under quota either by one or by 7? SO there is no way every group could be above quota, correct? OK sorry if this is a lot of questions or confusing in what I'm asking...I'm just trying to understand rfm a little better.

ADPiTigergurl: check out this thread http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ad.php?t=22514

I feel like this is the 3rd or 4th time someone's asked about this during this week...

Oh well... hope this helps you out!

Sorry to double post, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) but this is also Kappa Alpha Theta's first formal recruitment on the campus.

This would be Theta's 2nd FORMAL Recruitment. Last year's pledge class was the first!

ADPiTigergurl, it's been 12 years since I was Rho Chi/Pi Chi but it's my understanding that quota is the set number (like you said) and if a chapter is still under total, they can take more to get them to chapter total. To use round numbers, if quota is 50, chapter total is 200, current active count is 130 and with the new PNM quota they would only have 180, they could get an additional 20 PNMs to get to 200. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I believe Gamma Phi at Alabama did this last year (a national record pledge class) to get closer to chapter total.

In terms of do they take the girl's top pick or the chapter's top pick. it's a computer cross match and they're trying to match as many girls as possible. It's probably some of both but a girl isn't usually pulled from ABC (her #1 house) just because she was high on DEF's list and they need more girls. If girls can be placed in their top choice, that's ideal. Some of these might even be snap bids.

Am I helping at all?

Yes you are thanks so much

as for bid matchin i understand the cross matching system, however if you don't match into quota (making you a quota additon even though you would know you were) would you go to your top sorority or the sorority you were the girl right below the quota cut off?

perfectinpurple · #14 08-14-2010, 10:42 PM

Thanks auburnmom09! I knew they just recently re-established the chapter, but wasn't sure when.

auburnmom09 · #15 08-14-2010, 10:49 PM

I don't understand how the pairings occur. I do recall from reading an old post that Theta had 25 COB's last year, I believe. I understood that was because they had just re-established the chapter and therefore had less total members than most of the other groups.
