UC Davis?

Thanks ChioLu - my friend (who's daughter is headed there) had seen all that, I was just trying to figure out if it was a school that would freak if they even got a RIF.

I know those kinds of schools are out there...a foreign concept to me down south!

I'm assuming "no" to either of those, but also am curious if it's one of those schools that would freak out if they got a RIF on someone...?

I did a google/greekchat search and all I could find was fraternity recruitment and the "Sorority Life" show that MTV did about 10 years ago. Just the mere fact that there's not much/any information here speaks volumes to me about it's laid-backness?

I'm the advisory team chairman for the DG chapter at Davis. It's not competitive in the sense of having to do a lot of prep or get all new outfits or anything. There is an interesting system of having an actual upperclassmen quota (i.e., juniors), so I think it's probably hardest to get a bid as a sophomore. We get quite a few RIFs, maybe 20% of the PNMs, so if you can get them you absolutely should and no one will freak out. We also don't get access to ICS until right before recruitment starts, so PNMs get a big leg up if they send in recs and the chapters know who they are.

Also, only the 8 NPCs participate in FR.

I'm happy to answer any other questions about Davis. It's a different campus for sure than what I was used to at Duke or UC Berkeley when I advised there.
