SPRING RECRUITMENT AT UGA

This could be a new rule implemented at UGA, and another reason other than raising total mid-way through a year.

If the MAJORITY of chapters aren't at total, of course it makes sense to have 2 rushes a year. That's often the case at smaller schools with deferred rush or not a lot of Greek interest. The thing is, that isn't the case at UGA, unless they had a buttload of girls quit this semester.

My understanding of things is as follows - UGA has been experiencing a significant dropoff in enrollment during Spring semester, due to students graduating after 4 1/2 years, dropping out, etc. Last Spring the University offered a group of high school seniors admssion for January 2009 in an effort to "up" their second semester numbers. A friend of mine's daughter, who was wait listed at the time, received this offer and happily accepted. Of course, these girls were unable to participate in Fall recruitment and my friend says UGA is addressing the issue by instating a Spring recruitment. Hope others will be able to add to this information. I would love to know how many students were admitted for second semester and if the sororities intend to increase total to accomodate them.

That makes sense - and how considerate of UGA to accomodate these girls! Hope it all goes well.

Wow, Blueangel. You are even on at the same usual time that you usually posted. And, you said Sheila's name just to show who you are. Just another priceless example of how strange you are.

You're an angry person. I'd suggest switching to a nice, tasty decaf blend

Wow. That was out of left field. Where did you come from? What do you know about OTW?

Oh and I want to mention I was bullied in school, so these personal attacks really hurt me on the inside! I think everyone needs to step back and take some martial arts lessons for their self esteem.

ngg is correct. This is the first time in a very long time that every sorority is participating in Spring Recruitment at UGA. With so many young women entering UGA for the first time this coming January, the concern (from parents) was that the PNM would be "penalized" if they waited and went thru recruitment in the Fall since they might be considered as sophomores. Many sororities are hesitant to recruit sophomores.

I have also heard that all sororities are participating as a way of taking the supposed stigma out of Spring Recruitment. In recent years some houses that had open slots woudn't participate in the spring because the perception was that only the smaller or struggling houses participated. This is a way of evening the playing field and hopefully allowing some of the smaller houses to build up their numbers.

Sounds like a win/win to me - pnms get a shot at all the houses, and because all of the houses are participating there isn't the stigma that sometimes accompanies spring recruitment. Hope many women find a home at UGA!
