I recall it came out a month or so later. It'll certainly be posted in here when they do come out.

Have I missed it, or do we know how many young women began the current 2024 IU recruitment process?

I notice that IU posts recruitment stats after recruitment wraps up, so we'll probably get numbers in the future.

Bid Night is tonight. I don’t know what time it starts/started.

I remember a while back they did the rho gamma reveal on instagram live, and then the bids were opened.

In the midst of tik tok activity, there were a decent amount of people dropping out of recruitment, and similar to when Bama recruitment was all the buzz, alumni/advisors/consultants were explaining everything in a much more logistical manner. I don't wanna imagine a world where social media was huge when bed rush was still a thing at IU.

Go look at some of the older IU Recruitment threads on here. There were some massive trainwrecks!

I did see the rush experience of someone who went through and made it back in the 96. I did see some thread recommendations at the bottom of this, might take a look at them.

So I checked instagram and 1,500 bids have been given out. PNMs should be opening their bids up soon.

I only come to GC around IU recruitment time but maybe one of these days I'll share my story from 2006. Bed rush was so brutal and gross. There were dozens or maybe even hundreds of girls who went to 3 preference parties and ended up with no bid. I remember the sweetest girl on my floor freshman year who was "cross-cut". It was unfair to Rho Gammas as well having to console multiple heartbroken PNMs. I didn't even understand that this was NOT the normal process for years. Now when I hear on TikTok "dropped from all" they mean "dropped from all of my favorites" and I just get so angry.

In any event, hoping for good outcomes for everyone!

That's what I sensed when I'd watch these videos of PNMs saying "I dropped." And I doubt it was a matter of grades or a genuine reputation issue, which is super rare. I did hear that it was extremely cold the whole week (like much of the midwest, real feels were in the negatives )

Per IU Panhellenic's Instagram post, around 1,500 women accepted bids this year.

I have joked that schools in the north should do fall recruitment and southern should do winter because the temps are much for favorable for each season. I know Indy gets cold this time of year but nobody expected this!

[*winter*]

I’m forever traumatized by the story with the PNM who broke her back during recruitment (in upstate NY) during a blizzard! It was so bad the school’s health center was closed because of the emergency.

(She got a bid and was okay. Just sore.)

Ah good it ended well for her but good lord! Cornell is just starting and other schools like Syracuse and Binghamton are going to have recruitment soon. I couldn't imagine traversing the brutal upstate winters with a nice outfit on like that, though I've sene PNMs essentially have full winter get ups then remove everything to reveal their actual outfits.
