Tri Delt took 101, I believe. I have to think quota is a bit lower than 102 but I am trying to confirm that. The rumor going into pref was the classes would be in the 90's.

Chapters were scrambling putting together an additional 10 or more goodie bags this morning for new members! What a crazy mess!

Arkansas panhellenic needs to start working on an answer to this. Please, people!

I was wondering whether or not it's a record.

I kind of think there MIGHT be a few guys pledge classes that were bigger (namely FSU Pike), but it might be the biggest pledge classes for a sorority ever. Arkansas and Ole Miss already vied for largest sorority chapters (and, if I'm not mistaken fraternity chapters) in terms of numbers, but this is unbelievable. Someone earlier told me a quota of 92, but I have no idea how quota works. Is it possible that that one special house still brought in 50 some? Would that affect it?

And this problem will be fixed as soon as a national sorority steps up and builds a house. I'm praying for Phi Mu/DG/Theta, but who knows.

I'm pretty sure those are the largest numbers I have ever heard. Obviously Ole Miss has had some high numbers (Believe it was 2003 year quota was in the 90s at Ole Miss)...but no one at Ole Miss has pledged over 100 since I've been around....Ole Miss is expecting high numbers again but not sure it will hit 100 unless it is due to quota additions.

Between AL and AR this has been a HUGE year for #s in the SEC!
