DubaiSis already covered it, but women who withdraw because they don't like their invites are VERY DIFFERENT from women who sincerely get dropped from all groups.

I agree. I was just trying to reiterate that there are not hundreds of girls who are released from recruitment.

but dropped or released is the whole thing. I don't like that they categorize those together because they are entirely different things, as is the drops after round one (pouty pouterson) or after pref (just wasn't feeling it).

But regardless, that's only 10% attrition, and I can't fathom any scenario where 1400 girls would go through rush knowing for sure they want to pledge, don't freak out and get her foot securely in her mouth far enough to do some real damage, didn't meet grade requirements or go in with a reputation that precedes her. That leaves very few girls who fall through the cracks or who were genuinely not liked by any chapter.

Congratulations to Arkansas for placing a remarkable percentage of women through an insane process.

eta/PLUS the girls who dropped out of rush with the intention of joining one of the colonies!

The time is almost here and I know that everyone is excited about Bid Day for Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Mu this weekend.

I have heard that the quality of the PNMs has been strong and girls coming through have been terrific. What an incredible campus!

The interview team for Alpha Chi Omega included some of our most prominent alumnae and I know that they were very, very selective in this process.

We are so excited to be back of the U of A! What a great day for the entire community!

Thanks to all of you who've worked so hard on this. It will be wonderful to welcome all these young women to our Alpha Chi Omega sisterhood. Congratulations to Phi Mu as well.

I can't wait to hear the bid day results today... My friend's daughter has been going thru the colonization process. She is a legacy to one, I have no idea which she is hoping for but her mom told me she is very excited and has been impressed by both groups!

Bid day was scheduled at 5 pm. There should be a lot of happy new Alpha Chis and Phi Mus right now.
