Does anyone know since IU is moving to a "Bid Day" if most of all the chapter's members will be present in the stands sort of like bid day at South Carolina? If so that would be epic!!!!

Hey so lurking around social media (was trying to find info to say, oh you get X number of houses back for sisterhood.) ASA wasn't listed with all the chapter features, even though I know they conduct separate informal recruitment. I also checked their socials and they haven't posted since November. I hope they didn't close down.

Here's the link to the complete detailed recruitment schedule. Open round is virtual and is 21 chapters.

Does IU have the most Panhellenic chapters in the US?

I know Penn State was close, but they’ve lost a few?

Who did PSU lose? Two of my greataunts were in the pre-Kappa Alpha Theta Chapter.

According to the thread here, PSU has 18.

My wording was a bit off because I didn’t know how to quantify the ones who were on probation.

PSU at the moment has 18 on campus. ASA just came back in 2023. It got to a point that they now use variable quota for the sororities.

Preference Round and Bid Day are the Saturday and Sunday before the National Championship football game. I'm sure there are going to be a number of members/PNMs who will be down in Miami on those days - cheerleaders, members of the Marching Hundred, Redsteppers, family/significant others of players, etc. I wonder how that's going to be handled. (This has never been a concern before now. : ) )

Good thing UMiami just had their Bid Day, no?!?

And Congratulations to IU on making it to The National Championship Football Game!
