ITA.

Also, people are here for conversation and are not here to hear harsh tone from others when they do not search firsthand. In the scope of it, it is really not a big deal.

It will all work out for the best. She still has two more days to get to know the chapters. By Saturday afternoon, she should know which house really feels like home.

My daughter is rushing at Bama this week. I have a question. Historically, what percentage of the girls get seven invites for skit day?

I could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if that information was kept for the system at large. For individual chapters, you might have the info., but I doubt it's public.
Don't worry about statistics - the fact is that it is your daughter, not a number, going through. Whatever the stats, she will have her own unique experience. Hope she finds her home!

Although I'd be curious to know the answer to this too, I'd be really surprised if that info. is generally available. I don't know, but I'd guess that only someone with access to the whole recruitment database could even look such a thing up.

I don't think anyone at the chapters knows where else a girl is invited; they just find out if she's coming back to them, I think.

Many if someone on here was a recruitment counselor, she could give you the stats on her recruitment group, but even that would be really different today with release figures than it would have been in the past.

Don't know about now, but back in the day we definitely knew where everyone went. Back then we got a printout with a list of where they were going and which party.

This is strictly he said, she said info, but my daughter "heard" that a good average was 5 for skit because of the big cuts sororities have to make. Not sure if this was PNM gossip or actually from her group leaders.

Does anyone know if Bama chapters know where the girls are returning to? Just curious.

WOW! I don't know if we did get a list like that but I just never saw it (which might be likely) or if they didn't give them out. Was this at Bama? (I do know that the final bid day list were known by everyone, but every party every round? Wow.)

One would still have had to track the girls across parties to know the answer to Bear's question though. Did you all do that?

at fsu we only got lists of who would be attending our own parties. like
UGAAlum94, we did get bid lists for all the houses on bid day, an hour or two before bid day festivities.

Bear · #11 08-14-2008, 10:56 PM

That sounds reasonable. I would think most girls had between 9-11 visits for the second round so 5 would indicate about a 50% cut rate. Thank You

I can verify what anchor alum said as I was there a few years before her. We all got a list of who was attending which parties at which houses.

Me Too.

I have 4 hometown girls that are rushing at UA this week and have heard from 2 of them each day. One of the girls got all 14 invitations back for Philanthropy round and the other one got 13 invites. I haven't heard from the other girls personally, but they are doing well, or so I hear through the grapevine, haha. They receive their invites for Skit Day at 9:30 this morning. Good Luck to all PNM's and their parents!

bamama · #15 08-15-2008, 09:23 AM

Waiting to hear about skit day and cuts after Philanthropy like all of you. I just found this website yesterday and posted on Auburn's thread not finding Bama. I am not sure I understand the ins and outs. Does being out of Alabama and not known by recruiting chapters hurt?
