Then all the "work" is done for them & they just have to check the box?

That's basically what I do - I send a list of the pnms with a line to fill in IF they pledged - if it's blank, they didn't pledge. I send it with a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Again, some return it; some don't.

Gotcha. Missed that.

What SWTXBelle is doing ought to be more than enough to get the info she wants. There's interest in maintaining safety, and then in contrast, there's disregard for alumnae service in the form of writing recs. If an alumna provides that degree of help in terms of doing the recs and providing her own results form to a chapter with a self-addressed stamped envelope, it shouldn't be asking to much to get the form returned with a little info about what happened to each woman.

I mainly write RIFs to UGA, Auburn and Alabama. Auburn and Alabama acknowledge receiving them and let me know the link to the web bid lists and when it will be up. UGA sends me individual cards with the results for each girl, but because of the work involved with the numbers of PNMs they have, I don't usually get them until long after recruitment.

I really appreciate their efforts.

Sadly, I've just resorted to Facebook creeping when I want to know and am too scared to ask. 90% of the time, there's a photo of the girl wearing Bid Day gear up as her profile picture within 48 hours.

(creeper...)

I've had the same experience with DG at UGA (individual cards that take a long time) and Auburn (link to bid list after reception of rec). Funny how different sororities are the same in this regard!

I do that (email the PNMs for "best wishes") at the start of recruitment and I have great results with regard to getting updates from my girls.

I have a copy of the A&M bid list, but this site will not let me list an attachment. If you can tell me how to get it to you, I'll send it. I have a personal file...it's not posted on a website.

This was from a list on www.insidecollege.com.

Maybe this list is a year or two old? It had all of them in one place. The % out of state is not listed on the statistics on the Peterson's Guide? but it was close to the published numbers of the couple of universities that I checked on their own websites.

It gives you a rough ballpark for the difference between Cal and U-Texas and U. Tenn and Auburn or Bama.
