They don't release those lists any longer. Privacy issues.

Quota was 131.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
In my opinion, the desperate TikTok Aunties who have no idea how any of this works are a liability to any chapter who may otherwise have bid Morgan. There's cheering on a young woman who shows potential and is relatable, then there's the creepy parasocial crap that's going on with Morgan.

Pretty much this. The worst part was some of the other tik tok girls from the previous recruitment who were posting from the other side were getting comments like “why didn’t you help Morgan?” It became more of a liability whether or not she got a bid with all the toxic fans she had.

As I mentioned last year (though I found out sigma kappa gave her a bid and she rejected it) it’s one thing to wish PNMs good luck during rounds and cheer them on as they try to find their home, but another thing entirely to go on a witch hunt if they either get dropped or don’t get a desired result.

Re the door stacks -- I assume there was a rule change barring girls from lying or sitting on the floor? Instead the front row is getting quad workouts from squatting!

I hope everyone is happy. I'm still gobsmacked that 18 different houses can handle the logistics of 100+-member pledge classes.

One of the Tik Tok Bama Rush "experts" announced that she went Alpha Gam and I then had to go look it up. LOL

LOL yes I must have seen the same video. I saw it just after seeing May's own video and I thought I was imagining things "no...her hat was DEFINITELY pink and she DEFINITELY did angel wings...she didn't rush Alpha Gam...?"

Not quite Recruitment related, but Sigma Kappa has put their house on hold for now.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Alabama’s Sigma Kappa chapter paused its plans for a new, roughly $24.7 million house, according to university documents. The price tag would have set a record for the nation, but a university spokesperson said the project was paused because it had become too pricey due to inflation.

Guess that means they’ll remain in the swing house for the time being.

I do hope they get their own house soon.

The Fed is supposedly dropping interest rates so that may help.

Not to veer completely off topic but…it’s so obvious how much property prices have inflated over the past few years when you look at stuff like this!
