Dropping to 8 would still be a big drop-off, though.

Looks like we visited 25 houses, but two appear to have been non-NPC sororities: 4-H (who did not participate in formal rush) and Phi Beta Chi (not sure but don't think it was NPC). The other 23 were:

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Epsilon Phi
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Phi
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Phi Epsilon
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Phi Mu
Phi Sigma Sigma
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Delta Tau
Sigma Kappa
Sigma Sigma Sigma
Zeta Tau Alpha

So - we did go from 24 (including Phi Beta Chi - there was no note stating they were not participating in formal rush, unlike 4H's note) to 8.

Confused. I took out many names since I knew they were present on the Panhellenic map and in the recruitment booklet, but are the five listed above on UofI's campus? Did they (re)colonize and I was asleep? Does anyone know what's the scoop?

4-H House

I don't believe 4-H house participates in formal recruitment...I believe the chapter you are missing is Delta Zeta.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, as two chapters have left since last year (though only one was participating in FR). Obviously, the release figures will be updated accordingly, but you have to wonder if the new weakest recruiting chapters realize that they are the new weakest recruiting chapters.

You rushed more recently than I did...you went to 4-H house in the first round, right? Or do they not do that anymore?

Honey, you are right. Have no idea what I was thinking!
