University of Arkansas Recruitment 2025

[Arkansas PMN]

Carnation, I would too. I have several good friends who have daughters that are currently actives there. Lots of grumbling this week about some chapters having to release more than usual (and releasing many PNMs that they really wanted); so that Alpja Phi would get a lot. Not sure that is the best idea because my niece said lots of girls who got Alpha Phi ran crying back to their dorms and are not going to even give them a try. I know they aill all probably regret it but I can kind of understand them wanting a chapter with a beautiful mansion. My niece went AXO.

I know Arkansas loves to brag about the high percentage of PNMs that receive bids, but I suspect that their retention rate is pretty abysmal,

Congratulations to your niece!

I have known several PNMs who went to schools who had new chapters coming up, and quota was cut to help the new chapters. Panhellenic pushed and pushed the new chapter but the girls weren't having it, with PNMs dropping before they would take the new group. Others felt that they were almost forced into listed the new group second and told that almost everyone gets their first choice. This is one reason that Greeks get a bad reputation.

Yes Carnation, I don’t think this pushing girls into the new chapter works out so well. Same thing happened to my daughter about 10 years ago. She accepted a bid to AXO (and was ultimately happy). Her pledge class had like 200 women, but only about 110 actually initiated. They are doing great now. Alpha Phi will catch up once their house is built. Even DG (have only been around maybe 5 years) is sought after already by many PNMs

And thank you. My niece is literally on cloud 9 tonight.

We recolonized in 2017.

Huge congrats to your niece!

Anyhow, that stinks the PNMs had that attitude about Aphi, it would be an amazing opportunity to be the “first” PC the house has. I do know their new house is in the works for the future.
