I'm glad to see so many happy endings. Am I right that every PNM mentioned in this thread found a home? Congrats to all, especially DoctorD's niece who will soon be my sister!

Congratulations to all of the other lovely women who received bids! I hope that they find everything they are looking for--happiness, support, sisterhood--both within their chapters and within the greater Panhellenic and Greek community.

Congratulations to all of the New Members! So glad to read an Indiana Recruitment thread with so many happy endings!

To those who have just received their bids - may you always be so excited about your sorority home! Your experience is waiting for you to fill it full of sisterhood and the sharing of so many of your new life's experiences! May it be full of joy, maturity, and wisdom.

Oh, and party sensibly!!

Any word on numbers? I would be interested to hear how many got placed.

Talked to my daughter last night to catch up. I would be interested in the final numbers as well. We know that of her group of 12 friends that started, 11 found homes and 1 dropped before pref. I don't know where they all landed but we know that 3 of them are with her, 2 of them are Sigma Kappa's and then 1 ADPi. Not sure where the others went. From just looking at the pictures on social media from her friends looked to be in the mid 50's for most of them. Hard to tell though from pictures.

D said her PC was 55. I, too, have heard most landed in mid -50s. But i also heard, unofficially, that a couple did not make quota and would be doing informal (??)

I saw a photo on the Sigma Kappa chapter Instagram account and from counting heads, it looks like they got 55 new members.

Even some that made quota might still do "informal". but informal can be misleading. Having lunch with someone and offering them a bid on the spot can be considered "informal".

Remember, these are HUGE houses (physical structure) and chapters need to be able to fill the beds!

People in the know, do we have any idea of how many girls were able to match? I've seen numbers from previous years, but I don't know where to find them. Thanks!

those numbers are not usually released until the recruitment wrap up meeting, which is usually the end of Feb.

I have heard unofficially (read: rumors) that all the women that put down two selections on their bid card did receive a bid.

I also have heard that many women dropped on preference either before or after the round because they didn't like their remaining choices. Which just reminds me that after all the outcry of how horrible IU recruitment is, and how horrible it is that all these women don't receive bids and how IU needs to add more chapters, that it isn't that the women wanted more chapters. They just wanted more spots in the chapters that THEY wanted.

Hello! I was fortunate to spend a lovely Mom's Weekend with my daughter this past weekend. The ladies seem to be settling in nicely.

Any word on how Recruitment went this year with regards to numbers? It certainly was a large group on the tennis courts that night. I hope there are a lot of happy new members!

The numbers are listed in Irishpipes NPC recruitment 2017-2018 thread, on the bottom of page 1. this thread is in the recruitment (Not Sorority recruitment) group. Looks like all groups took 50+ except DPhiE and ASA.

DPhiE did COB to quota.
