The women heard around 7:45, at least some did. I think the women may be at parties now.

They heard by 2:30 this morning if they were released. From what I hear, there was lots of staying-up-til-2:30-and-then-getting-up-to-get-ready-at-5:30. I hope these girls can get some sleep once prefs are over today!

The young lady mentioned in my post has had a fine recruitment and by good fortune she had six parties yesterday and three today. She is both happy with her choices and GRATEFUL.

My cousin was definitely one of these people. Again, good news and bad news. The Good news is that she has 3 invites. The bad news is that her remaining favorite (Vanilla), which has been consistently in her top 3 from after day 1, did not invite her back. She's taking it really hard, especially since she said she's had the best relationship with them from start to finish (although they were #3 from day 1 in her mind).

She was pretty down for a while, but is still happy that Chocolate invited her back (her new favorite as of now). The 2 houses (Strawberry and Cookie Dough) that she did not really connect with for a while (until the other day) also invited her back. She said she would be very content on ending up there, if she is fortunate enough, but Chocolate is definitely ahead of the pack. I did not call her, she sent me a text. She left me a voicemail, and it took me a while to realize who it was, the poor girl, she had hardly any voice and she was really emotional-it was about a 3 minute voicemail.

I really feel awful and am really praying for her harder than ever before. If you can, it'd be great to keep my cousin, and the rest of those, as well as posters on GC, going through Recruitment at UGA in your thoughts. There is only one more day, but it has clearly taken an emotional toal on a lot of people.

my daughter has recurring mono from this summer and the heat, lack of sleep, and walking have taken a toll on her. I hope she can sleep peacefully tonight; if not, then tomorrow night after this is over.

My cousin's best friend (she is her roommate also) got 3 invities-black rasberry, mint chocolate chip and chocolate. They both have chocolate in common-which my cousin favors, her roommate is still unsure-she likes both the same, and it will be difficult for her to rank them. Hoping for some good news later on!

what is the upper classmen quota usually set at or how is it determined? are there usually a lot of upper classmen going through rush?

KSUViolet06 · #98 08-14-2011, 01:23 PM

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but it's set at a certain percentage of projected regular quota.

Ex: if quota = 60, then sometimes UQ will be set at 5% of that depending on the number of upperclassman and what Greek Life thinks is needed?

Again, please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to spread any false info.

Anyone else have news on PNM's of theirs at UGA?

lilybeth3 · #**100** 08-14-2011, 02:04 PM

so if you can have 3 upper classmen and 200 go through...those are not great odds either.

Wow, I had always assumed that it was related to the number of UQ women participating.

lilybeth3 · #**102** 08-14-2011, 02:21 PM

I should clarify...assuming that each chapter takes their 3...that is still only 21 (3 x 17 chapters) and I believe close to 200 went thru this year.

The girls I've heard from today all have 3 parties. But I've got a couple who haven't updated me today... I'm hoping it's not a bad sign.

There may be different ways of setting, but that's the way I read here on GC in another Big SEC school thread.

Hopefully someone can chime in on how UGA does it?

At any rate (as I said in the upperclassman quota thread) one shouldn't feel that it means they'll get a bid. Just putting that out there.

finally got up w daughter...exhausted, little voice...she like 2 of the 3 at prefs. now we are praying for a good result. she would not divulge her rankings or anything (I did not ask) bc she wants it to be a surprise. pray that all goes well.
