Indiana University Recruitment 2017

[IUMomma]

That's great to know about the 1600-1700 registered. How many (%?) normally drop before the Open House rounds - because of grades, change of heart, etc?

I am hopeful things aren't quite as brutal this year as they were in years past!

Thankfully, the weather seems to be cooperating for January!

I would say the drop outs for grades or just decide not to come back is around 100. More women will drop out through the process. I don't have last year's stats in front of me, but the number of women that stayed in the process and maximized their preference list and were unmatched was actually quite low. The problem is the number that drop out during the process because they don't like the chapters inviting them back or don't maximize their preference choices.

Got it!

That seems reasonable I keep preaching keeping an open mind and that her feelings may change as the process goes on.

We are just thankful it's finally time to get started!

Temperatures are supposed to drop on Friday, so hopefully your daughter can stay warm!

We have been watching the weather and I think she has everything she needs. But, those are some VERY VERY COLD temps!

Thankfully, it's not sleet, ice, or inches and inches of snow!

When I went through recruitment, back in the dark ages when it was still called rush, it was so cold that winter that I parked my car near each house and stayed in it with the heat blasting until a few minute before the doors opened. Outside of one house, I had 7 girls in my tiny car. :-) We must have looked like a clown car when we all rolled out of there.

Hope she (and all the PNMs) stay warm!! and safe!!

That has me tempted to let her have a car for the first couple of weeks If it weren't for having to move it for those pesky basketball games, it sounds like a great plan!
