With that said how many girls generally go through recruitment?

If quota is 17, I'd guess the number of women is about three times that. Just to be clear, though, being Greek at UIC is going to be a very different experience than at a Big 12 school. There are no sorority/fraternity houses (though some groups may have unofficial off-campus housing), for starters. All three NPC sororities are great groups and you can have an awesome time in a UIC chapter, but you may have to un-learn some of your existing notions of Greek life.

Thanks for the correction. Their website does not mention this at all.

OP, I saw chalk on the quad today that said the info meeting is September 6 in SCE. I don't recall the room number, though.

There's an ice cream social on Thursday 4pm-7pm in Room 613 in SCE. That's kind of strange about the chalk on the quad though- September 6th is listed as the first day of recruitment by the CPC website, so I'm not sure why it says it's an informational meeting. I wouldn't recommend missing it either way.
