Possible Recruitment Numbers for NPC Chapters in 2012

[ComradesTrue]

TCU's recruitment started today with approx 900 PNMs. While that number may not be as large as some other schools, the entire freshmen class is less than 1900 students. So, it's definitely a huge percentage.

AOII is colonizing this year after formal recruitment bringing the total number of groups to 12.

Via twitter yesterday, Kansas State has 735 pnms registered. Oldest daughter had a pledge class of about 41 in 2007, and Zeta was added In 2010 but numbers have continued to go up. Last year's quota was 54. This year the girls were told to expect a higher quota than last, but it will depend on how many drop. (12 houses @ K-State)

Any idea if the rumor about KSU opening for sorority expansion being more fact than fiction?

A&M closes registration today, at midnight. Does anyone know the current number of PNM's who have registered. My daughter was at Fish Camp two weeks ago, and said that only 2 girls in her group were participating in recruitment. I'm wondering if their numbers might be low this year. Either way, Gig Em!

I heard from an Aggie alum friend that their numbers are probably in the 800 range. She had seen 775 a week ago. Best of luck to your daughter. Tell her to go in with a very open mind. With A&M joining the SEC this year, I have a feeling that even the weakest chapters will be strengthened due to SEC reputations. I have heard that the chapters are getting loads of support from their national orgs. and many fun things are planned for the year. There is no reason that every chapter there can't be full and fabulous!

I would say, yes, it is more fact than fiction, but I can't totally confirm it. I heard that last spring PHC voted "yes" on the issue, but it was not necessarily unanimous. Since then I have not seen or heard anything more about it.

According to UW's (Washington) Panhellenic FB page, there are currently 517 PNMs signed up for Recruitment. Last year was around the 700 mark, so unless another 200 or so sign up in the next 3 weeks it looks like numbers will be down a bit this year.

Another update - 900 registered, but some might drop before. I think that is about the same as last year from what my friend said. No new colonies, so 12 groups total.
