I can verify that Theta has 142 new members!

Per a post on DG's FB page, they have 121 in their pledge class.

Holy crap. I just can't imagine. I mean, all the fraternities and sororities over the 4 years I was in school probably totalled that amount (if even).

That's AWESOME! Welcome to the sisterhood! Welcome Home! Please come introduce yourself in the Phi Mu forum!

Stats sent to me early yesterday morning:
1112 PNMs matched
170 withdrew
80 released
About 78% placed
Numbers may have changed yesterday after this information was released. All groups made quota and most had additions. Such good news!

140-180ish = one chapter at KSU.

If my memory serves me correctly, I think everyone at Ole Miss either is remodeling or has remodeled recently because they are outgrowing their houses.

Like, their (already large) chapter rooms are running low on seating!

I think I read here once that the chapters are good about doing a LOT of mini sisterhoods (e.g senior/freshman night, xyz major night, etc.) to try to get people to meet and get to know each other better.

Yes, I think that these chapters with huge pledge classes are being creative with events that match women with similar interests. Cudos to them for thinking outside of the box.

There were 1394 PNMs registered for rush.

These numbers mean that 32 PNMs are unaccounted for, probably signed up & then did not to go through recruitment.

That means that only about 6% were released.... an amazingly low number. About 12% withdrew. This number might be a little higher than usual because of ADPi's recruitment.

How large are the chapters there now with the new member classes? Do you think ADPi will colonize to total or deliberately stay a little under to pick up some friends of friends in the spring?

According to last Spring's grade report, Theta was the smallest at 184 and Chi O was the largest at 368 (with DG at 366) so depending on how many girls graduated, it kinda sounds like more than a couple of the houses are approaching the 350-400 range numbers-wise. ADPi could probably take 250-300 girls and still have room for more in the spring if they so choose.

I'm still waiting to hear from my rec girl, and I checked the student paper for a bid list. No bid list, but they did link to a huge set of Bid Day 2013 photos on Flickr.

That is SUCH a great idea. I am passing it on to a couple of chapters.

You will start to see Bid Lists published by individual sororities in the Daily Mississippian.

I don't know why I don't see an edition since Oct 7. Keep checking, the lists will come later in the week.
