Which was my suspicion too. My 93 is for initiation year, and I have honestly been considering changing my username for the last couple of years knowing that the birth year 93s were coming. Wish I had put more thought into the danged thing when I registered, but at the time wasn't planning to ever actually post!
Post on WE93. You bring honor to the 93 names.

What a fun day! BTW, my daughter got her first choice, Phi Mu! We were both in tears. I can't wait to hear where Auburnmom85's daughter pledged. The stress of this past week....wow.

Yep! I was born in 1993 and am entering my Freshman year at AU. I pledged a Fraternity over the summer. But yes, I was at bid day with two of my pledge brothers and a few other friends.

LOL. Some of those young men were being platonic and polite but I bet most of them were doing a discreet form of catcalling.

Congratulations to both you and your daughter! I've heard a lot of good things about Phi Mu, and I recognized a girl that pledged Phi Mu from CWE that I really hit it off with. I also am anxious to hear where Auburnmom85's daughter pledged.

A bouquet of fresh red carnations for her! Congrats to her and hugs to you for making it through! I remember what fun I had when my oldest collected her bid several years ago. I am sure you had a blast!!!

So happy for everyone today! We sure have a lot of different chapters represented today and each one seems to be perfect for the girls who pledged them.
Talked to my daughter a little while ago and she was thrilled with her chapter's new pledge class! She is wishing she could take another little.
WarEagle 93, you do sound like a delightful young man. My daughter is a junior, you should look her up.

If a chapter made quota, but is below campus total, it is possible they will COB. I have no idea if that is the situation for any of the groups, because I don't know the numbers going into recruitment.
Also, if any of the groups have retention issues (pledges drop before initiation), that could also create a COB opportunity.
I know NOTHING about Auburn when I say these things, I'm just recounting possible situations on a generic campus according to NPC rules.

If they took quota, but aren't up to total yet, they can do COB. If they're at or over total, they can't. It's the perk of taking quota!

Gamma Phi's monster pledge class last year was actually at Bama, not Auburn
And congrats to AOEFORME's high school friend's sister going Gamma Phi!!

It is weird considering that DZ is HQed in OH. Probably just coincidence. lol. I always love seeing Ohio peeps on bid lists though.
I have a question related to the high numbers of QAs at AU (and really AU recruitment numbers in general.)
How is retention? Like, say XYZ pledges quota + like 20 QAs. Do they tend to initiate most of them?

LOL. I've been on the road all day and couldn't come back to correct my mistake. Of course when originally told, I said, "Bama, Auburn...same difference, right!?" so hard to keep up with these huge chapters.
