Univ.of Illinois Recruitment FALL 2012

[lovespink88]

Done! Congrats to your daughter and Gamma Phi Beta!

I'm so excited to see that one of the new members mentioned has joined Alpha Xi Delta! I visited U of I for recruitment this weekend and it was such a fun experience! We're soooo excited for all of our amaXIng new members!!!

[lovespink88]

I'm guessing the picture I posted was missing a new member; per a Facebook post from the chapter, Alpha Xi has 53 new members.

I have pretty solid confirmation that Quota at U of I was 45.

I just saw a pic of the SDT pledge class, and it turns out I know about half a dozen of the new member from summer camp.

Is your daughter one of them?

In a weird life move, I was on PNW staff last summer, more than a decade after I'd last worked there, so a bunch of these women were JC's.

Yep, a counselor. I think there are like 25 camp girls in the chapter. So, its not only certain high schools that attract girls to certain chapters.

Question ladies, about Quota. The posters are saying that quota was 45 (or so) yet some of the chapters have up to 52! How is it that some got to bring in more than quota? Doesn't that mean that many houses didn't get their quota? Thanks for any explanation, as I learn about this new Panhell world that I am now a proud parent of.

Actually, no it doesn't. Chapters get over quota (aka quota additions or QAs) when the PNMs have played by the rules and maximized their options but under the old quota rules would not have gotten a bid by being to low on bid lists are added to chapters bid lists. This rewards PNMs that have played by the rules. QAs are placed by the RFM specialist and the greek advisor. A PNM may be a QA only when she has attended every party to which she has been invited and accepted and has listed all chapters to which she attended preference on her bid card.

If you don't need any support (clearly your daughter is a superstar, and support is not required), AND you aren't willing to accept the information put forth, what is your purpose on this site?

My experience so far has been snotty people like you and old row acting like two year olds. I never said my daughter was a superstar...I just posted her experience. Joint old row and go get a life. My purpose on this cite was just to learn about sororities and to share what my daughter was going through. For all I know, she will get rejected by all of the sororities today. I guess I should apologize to you for not being in a state of depression because my daughter is having a good experience so far.

My only hope is that if she joins a sorority, the people are better humans than you and old row, as you two are just sad, nasty people.

And my only hope is that your daughter is a nicer person then you appear to be.. goodness you need to take it down a notch

I tried to be as polite as I was raised to be but now I see you are a big bully. I feel very sorry for your daughter if this is the way you react when people have a different view than you do.

There is the mentality of a group of people ganging up on one. I posted nothing rude at all until I was personally attacked. Some dummy accused my daughter of being a superstar, when she doesnt know a thing about her. Funny how your crusade to defend evil has not yet touched her, or the other rude people. If you are truly concerned about being nice, then check out the posts that have attacked me, including yours, by the way. If this is what sororities members are or what the supposedly grow up to be, you can have it. You hope my daughter is nicer that what I appear to be, and I hope you are more intelligent than you appear to be. Touché. Or do you just toss out little jabs and expect not to be poked back?

My daughter and I are good and kind people, but we do not cave to bullies. I posted about her experience, and not one response to that...just about the username and personal attacks on me. Those of you who have engaged in these attacks are petty, shallow, crass people. But it is never too late to be introspective and evolve into a higher thinking mammal. There is hope for you all who attack.

To DGillinois: I never intentionally tried to mimic your name. I put on my signature after I was informed that it is not proper form that I am not associated with Delta Gamma. I apologize if it created any confusion, and I have asked the administrator for a name change. Even though I feel that it is silly, particularly since my signature makes it clear I am not affiliated with your sorority, I will stop posting under that name. The proviso is that there are are no other attacks on me. I will do that you of respect to you personally for not being rude.

A final thought. I could have come here and pretended I was a delta gamma and nobody would have known otherwise. For all anybody here knows, nobody is who they claim to be. I was honest, apologized, made attempts to change the name, and have been attacked by many people for no reason. Those people need to take a look at what is important in life.

And a final, final thought, out of respect for DGillinois, do not make any more nasty responses to my posts, because if you do, I will NOT change my name, and you will have nobody to blame but yourselves.
