University of Tennessee Recruitment 2013

[ZetaBeta]

Anyone hear what quota was? I wonder if it's higher with the new houses.

[Girlmomx2]

Results I have seen so far:
Phi Mu 53
Sigma Kappa 62
Zeta 60
DG 60
ADPi 52
KKG 48
DZ 57
Alpha Chi Omega 54

Still trying to find out quota. Has anyone else heard?

In the #'s thread earlier this week it was posted that 905 were rwgiatered. If above are true, that's less than 50% who started ending up with a bid.

Is that typical for this school?

A friend of mine that went through recruitment said that they told her if you attended all the days you were guaranteed a bid from somewhere. I wonder how truthful that is.

That list is not comprehensive of all the chapters. There are a total of 13.

Huh? She was only listing results for a handful of chapters. It looks like quota was around 50ish. With 13 chapters, that would mean around 650-700 got bids.

If you attend every party to which you are invited AND you maximize your options by listing every chapter you preffed on your bid card, then you will most likely receive a bid. Girls can get cut prior to pref by all chapters.

Kappa Delta 52.

Thanks -- that all makes sense.

Freshman quota was 40, upperclassman quota was 8. Total matched was 690/912. 75%. This seems a little low- quota last year was 52. I have the list if anyone wants me to check names! PM me.

AOII has 49 NMs

TennesseeKD, you seem plugged in to panhellenic at UTK, so here's my question. I read through another post on GC discussing the large numbers of PNMs registering for recruitment at large universities across the US. Even smaller universities and small private colleges are seeing major interest and growth in their Greek systems. From what has been stated in this thread, UTK had less than 1000 pnms registered. With the new houses I think many Greeks believed tennessee would see a "jump" in interest this year. Was I expecting too much this first year? Don't get me wrong, I know utk is not alabama, but I would have thought more women would have signed up to participate in recruitment.

Sometimes the houses may not be the large draw we think they will be. The cost of living in that new house may be quite pricey and higher than splitting a house off campus with three or four other girls. Or living in a house in which your boyfriend can't spend the night, or heck even go upstairs, might not appeal to some women.

As someone else said in another thread, change is hard.

The daughter of a high school friend went ADPi at UTK - my friend is over the moon!
Indiana SigKap - I agree about the houses. They're nice, in my experience they can be a curse as well as a blessing. I always thought in some ways a Panhellenic dorm would be level the playing field a bit during recruitment.
