Registration closed on Monday with 1217 PNM's registered! Formal Recruitment starts one week from today! Good luck to those going through recruitment this year at UT and remember that keeping an open mind will ensure a more successful experience...all 14 chapters are amazing..you honestly CANNOT go wrong with any chapter at UT!

Hook-em!

Didn't want to hijack AndysToys thread (which is EPIC and I can't wait to hear the end of...but...)

Has anyone heard rumblings of quota? Bids come out at 5pm today!

It really suprises me that quota is this small It seems that early cuts were so harsh... I just don't understand why the new mwmber classes are not a lot larger.

Do most chapters take all of the upperclass quota?

On a detour:

In general (not treading on membership selection), why would a chapter not utilize the upperclassmen quota?

Because they're not extending any bids to upperclassmen, the reason, why or rational behind those decisions however would all fall under MS and be specific to each individual chapter.

That is a few off of last year even though there were more girls registered. I think this shows where RFM is a bit of a guessing game. They might ease off a smidge next year. But it could also be by intention... wanting to keep quotas under control?

Quota was smaller than last year but please don't forget 14 chapters were participating in formal recruitment this year instead of 13.

Did the new chapter have a successful rush?
