I will message you.

May (I found her on TikTok during Bama Bound) went Pi Phi. The comments on her pref day video were evenly divided between Phi Mu and Pi Phi it seemed, so I guess people had it figured out! Also, it's really odd to see people commenting where she got a bid before she herself announced it...but I guess that's the flip side of social media presences.

One of the Tik Tok Bama Rush "experts" announced that she went Alpha Gam and I then had to go look it up. LOL

ADII - interesting - same for us but maybe not depending on total and how many graduated...

LOL yes I must have seen the same video. I saw it just after seeing May's own video and I thought I was imagining things "no...her hat was DEFINITELY pink and she DEFINITELY did angel wings...she didn't rush Alpha Gam...?"

Does anyone know if Bama has a list somewhere of where PNMs went? A coworker’s daughter went through recruitment this year down there and I’d love to know where she went. I’m from Illinois and while I’m very familiar with Big 10 schools…the SEC is its own world! I also don’t want to embarrass my coworker by asking on the off chance her daughter dropped/was dropped. Coworker is a GDI but I know worked hard to ensure she got all of the recs she needed for her daughter (she had my sorority covered by the time I asked if she needed one). And I don’t want to be creepy and stalk her daughter’s socials!

Also, on the topic of Bama Morgan, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I have seen multiple places that she is a junior who only has a 2.85 GPA, so that also could be a big factor on what happened with her in the long run. She did also get a snap bid last year she turned down. I do hope she’s successful with COB and finds a home for her if she’s meant to find one. But i appreciate she’s got a good attitude toward others being successful in Greek Life even if she is ultimately not.

They don't release those lists any longer. Privacy issues.

Quota was 131.

Re the door stacks -- I assume there was a rule change barring girls from lying or sitting on the floor? Instead the front row is getting quad workouts from squatting!

I hope everyone is happy. I'm still gobsmacked that 18 different houses can handle the logistics of 100+-member pledge classes.

Bama Morgan was dropped from Recruitment in the middle of the week.

Not quite Recruitment related, but Sigma Kappa has put their house on hold for now.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Alabama’s Sigma Kappa chapter paused its plans for a new, roughly $24.7 million house, according to university documents. The price tag would have set a record for the nation, but a university spokesperson said the project was paused because it had become too pricey due to inflation.

Guess that means they’ll remain in the swing house for the time being.

I do hope they get their own house soon.

The Fed is supposedly dropping interest rates so that may help.

Not to veer completely off topic but…it’s so obvious how much property prices have inflated over the past few years when you look at stuff like this!
