Bama Sorority Recruitment 2010

[Lightning Bug!]

UAMomma, we had this happen when I was an active, although not at Alabama. I am trying to remember the situation...I believe that the girl was in her sister's wedding, which had been scheduled since before the rush schedule was released (and the rush schedule ended up being moved a week later that year). Panhel had no problem with her leaving early. I seem to remember that she was considered a "hot" PNM anyway....stellar grades from a nationally known school, a new member of a major campus sports team, and all that. Also I believe she was a legacy for us. So we matched her with some very wise senior actives for the first two rounds, and then they got enough of a feel for her that she made our bid list no problem. But she ended up going with the sorority that had lots of members from her sports team...not surprising. So I guess the moral of the story is that if your girl is a "hot" PNM who has some connections in the houses anyway, then it isn't inconceivable that they would give her lots of special consideration.

[QUOTE=TideMom;1968457]Has anyone heard what quota is this year? Also, anyone who knows how they figure quota and is willing to share - I'm listening!

Quota is based on the number of women signing bid cards so there is no way to tell at this point exactly what it will be. We could probably guess if we knew how many women are attending pref round. They actually figure quota based on which number places the most women so it can float in a range until the final tabulation is done.

Hi,

Let me start by saying, I have searched this site and the UA site for a Rush Schedule. I know I heard or read a 10:00 time for bid day, but I can't find the schedule. I have read about how crowded it will be tomorrow, but does anyone know what time to arrive and a place to start looking for parking If there is a link, just let me know. Thanks Again!

The girls have to be in the stadium by 9:45 bids are distributed at 10 am. Get there early and try and park on one of the side streets on the Tutwiler Dorm side.

my daughter thought this would make a good reality show...maybe something like "as the tide rolls"

Yes, I had to deal with a few upset (as in upset enough to cry about it) active members last year because their "rush crush" either was cut or chose not to come back for preference...

my DD decided to keep going today. not sure if she has one house or two two visit. at least one (no phone call).

she is really undecided about what she should do, and i am not much help.

[Tuuthfairy]

she should definitely go for it! good luck

Mrskrabs, yes. 10am and it's a mad house. I actually would suggest to park near University Presbyterian Church on the other side of the stadium and dart across. I wouldn't even try anywhere near Tutweiler. Another option would be to park near the Ferguson Center and cross the quad. Also, as odd as it sounds the "norm" is to stand on the lawn of the house your daughter ranked first and go from there.

Update on my fav Bama PNM. She had one for skit but did get invited back to that one for pref and really likes it. FINGERS CROSSED. I'm going and will report back--also with a photo slideshow link!

Good luck to all the Bama pnms tonight! I can't wait to hear updates tomorrow!

I am new to this post and I (& many of my '05 pledge class) wrote a rec for a lovely young lady. Is there a place where one can find out where/if a PNM made it into a House at Bama???

The bid list should be posted Sunday afternoon or sometime Monday. Go to www.ua.edu and look toward the bottom left for a link under "News." They might also put it on the Greek Life Web site (http://www.greeklife.ua.edu/) or the Panhellenic Web site: http://www.uapanhellenic.com/

[Mrskrabs]

Thanks for the info! On our way now. She had 3 bids I hope it's a great day for everyone.
