Greekdee is correct -- I know the last two colonizations at Bama have been great opportunities for upperclassmen.

That number originated from my ass, since you asked.

And yes, they were great opportunities. Those upperclassmen selected were probably also head and shoulders above the average Bama female student and vetted back and forth and upside down. Greekdee's post didn't really convey that.

If I used a little hyperbole, it's because people often don't get the point unless you do.

That's what I thought.

The actual number of total PNMs from both recent colonies, who participated in formal recruitment, then joined a colonizing chapter, was 304 of the total 438 new colony members. I think that there was a lot of opportunity for upperclassmen to join these chapters, since colonizing chapters want and need new members outside of freshmen and sophmores.

Yet you didn't attend Bama (or any other competitive SEC school), your GLO doesn't have a chapter there, you don't write recs for PNMs there, and don't know girls who joined either of the most recent colonizing chapters.

I do. And I know that the girls selected were great girls, though to state that this process is 3x more difficult than FR, and that these girls are turned inside-out in such a manner, is tantamount to uninformed tent-talk.

Greekdee's post conveyed exactly what needed to be conveyed. I wish there was such an opportunity upcoming for transferring upperclassmen like bamagirl. I think we still need more chapters to colonize at Bama (just my opinion -- especially considering the continued large size of the pledge classes).

One way or another -- I'm sure bamagirl would be happy in any of the chapters there -- and I hope she pursues the opportunity. There aren't any bad choices at Bama!

Do you know how may of those 304 were upperclassmen (including sophomores since they are also considered upperclassmen)? And why not include all who participated in the colonization process instead of the number who also participated in formal recruitment? Does that skew the stats?

I don't agree. It made it sound like it was an "easier" option. (FWIW I don't think that was greekdee's intention, but it did.)

If you want to blow sunshine up everyone's twat 24/7, you're on the wrong site. Maybe you need to go assist your chapter at Alabama with recruitment and tell them to give bids to all the women you "support" on here.

But if I wanted to swap not-so-classy insults with someone pulling uninformed advice out of unmentionable places, then I’m on the right site?

I just don't see a disagreement here -- no one said that a colonizing chapter takes any upperclassman. Opportunities for upperclassmen were more abundant during a colonization than in FR with existing chapters at Bama, and I imagine on other SEC campuses as well.
