I have some numbers from UCLA recruitment. Approximately 1200 women went through recruitment. Bid night was this past Sunday. (UCLA is on the quarter system and doesn’t start classes until the last week of September so that is why recruitment is later than schools on the semester system.)

ADPi - 98
APhi - 97
XO - 92
All other groups except AXO and KD (numbers unknown) got New Member classes in the 90’s: GPhiB, DG, Pi Phi, Theta, KKG.

Chapter total is now at 300! None of the sororities on this campus have the space to hold 300 people for Monday night dinner or chapter meetings. The conference rooms and classrooms on campus that could be used for at least chapter meetings, have classes or have already been reserved on Monday nights. The sororities are gonna have to get creative about where to hold chapter meetings.

And before anyone says expansion, they tried to take care of that. Tri Delta was voted to come back first when they closed roughly 10 years ago due to low numbers. Unfortunately, they leased out their house and it’s currently being used by a millionaire for the homeless and won’t move out. (I know, in the state of California, that when a family wants to move back into their own house that is being leased, they can give the tenant a 90 day notice to vacate. I don’t know if this also applies sorority housing, but if I were a Tri-Delta, I would be calling the state department of housing in Sacramento.)

There are 3 sorority houses (chapters closed) that are being leased to other students: AGD, AEPhi and Phi Mu. One house being used for the associate sorority, which I believe is an engineering sorority. The other two are independent student housing. AGD closed a few years ago due to low numbers, but that was when New Member total was around 60-70. It has dramatically increased since then.

Most sororities at UCLA only have room for about 60 members to be housed. Last time they expanded, AGD was selected 1st, then AXiD was to be 2nd, but that was on the caveat that all sororities were at a level of 20 or 25% close to total (which chapter total was at 200 members) and that didn’t happen. UCLA is definitely a campus that needs to expand and quick!

Fingers crossed for an expansion! When Tri Delta was announced to return to Arizona next year, many alumna from the various west coast chapters that closed were crossing their fingers that if the colony is successful there and the campus environment is right, we can return to UCLA one day!

It's actually a house for foster kids who go to UCLA.

How fabulous! Foster kids really have the odds stacked against them, since they age-out at 18, but don't have family or savings to help them.

It is sad that word around campus is that this house is a homeless shelter.

Oh man that's cruel It seems like a wonderful idea that I wish colleges took advantage of more (similar to the on campus food pantries for poorer students)

I’ll let my friend know so that people aren’t disseminating misinformation.
