This is a really good idea to prevent having to have two structured rushes - especially with THON in the spring. (I have no doubt that had a lot to do with the birth of this concept.)

Yep, chapters may COB up to total prior to formal recruitment and then take quota as well. It worked great this year, as you can tell.

Yes, regular quota was 27 and upperclassman quota was 5, and many groups either did COB beforehand or got quota additions or did snap bids. In other words, a very successful recruitment!

Also remember that total was just upped in spring 2010 from 85 to 90, so many chapters are adjusting to that change as well. I will post more results as I can come by them.

OMG!!! The singing bids! I haven't thought about that in soooo long, but at my school (SRU) they did the same thing! I'm betting we are close to the same age. I was at SRU from 98-01

I was going to ask if you went there when you mentioned the Rock apartments. Everything there is Rock something just like everything near Penn State is Nittany something. lol. (I went to Clarion.)

LT and I are both quite a bit older than you, it's just that things change sloooooowly here in PA. (and we like it that way )
