In case I am not the only one interested in UF recruitment, ajmom3 just posted on the FSU recruitment story thread that the UF preference parties are this morning also. Bids are still scheduled for this evening (but maybe not the same time). I hope she keeps us posted....

Bid Day at S. Carolina is today at 5:00. Quota started out at 72, was increased to 77, but the Kappas got 82!!! Don't know any other details.

Started out with 1,015, but that's not how many came through the 1st round. Can't remember how many dropped from the beginning.

Quota of 47

Why was it so low? Last year it was 55. Did Florida have a lot of girls drop out before pref? Or were the initial numbers that much lower?

I think the torrential downpours and the tropical storm may have deterred some girls... after all they had to have prefs and bid day today. But yes, quota was pretty low.

I think the weather was a big factor at UF, and also the fact that the first Pref party started this morning at 8AM - which meant the PNMs had to be ready by 7! I know of at least one PNM who overslept and was released from recruitment for missing her parties.

Here is an article about Florida's bid day. Doesn't give any numbers, but does have a good photo gallery.

Two girls that I knew from People to People pledged Tri-Delta at UF yesterday. =]

Edited: All the Kappa pictures are so cute! I'm in love with the sign that says "We love our baby Kappas".
