I heard they are right at 1100 going thru this year! Great to see more girls wanting to be Greek every year at A&M

I have an OOS rec girl so I will be on pins & needles all week. Many conversations with her mama on how things have changed, I just hope they believed me. Fingers crossed!

I know almost 1100 (closer to 1060, I think) signed up but am really curious as to how many actually went through Open Houses today to start the process. I know last year it was 901. Haven't heard from my source yet. Anyone out there have a number?

Wow! That's a large number. Are there any PNMs on this site? Can't wait to hear how recruitment goes this year.

I guess I'll answer my own question for y'all. 1028 walked in the door today for the 1st round of Open House up by 127 from last year. Conceivably, quota could go up by 9 or even higher as Panhellenic has been working very hard on ways to keep girls from dropping out of the process. Fingers crossed.

Good Luck to all the actives and PNMs today!

PNM's can attend up to 9 houses today! Usually, first round cuts at A&M are relatively minimal. I'm curious to find out if that still holds true. Have a great day, PNM's!!!!

Any word on how the first round went? I really hope these women going through recruitment stick it out and find their home. A&M's Greek system is only getting stronger.

As for cuts first round, it probably depends on the house. Some chapters might have to cut more heavily than others due to RFM (but I am not sure on that one).

Good Luck - almost halfway there!

Good luck, and GIG 'EM to all my fellow Aggies! Whoop!

Well, Skit Night is over. Does anyone have information regarding the status of cuts? If its anything like last year, the biggest cuts are being made tonight. I'm curious to find out quota.

Just interested · #13 08-22-2013, 11:34 PM

My understanding is more girls are staying in the mix this year instead of dropping out. Great news. This should increase quota if it all holds. Tomorrow night will tell the tale. Would love to see a quota of 70 but maybe I'm being optimistic.

Delta-adpi · #14 08-23-2013, 08:20 AM

I haven't heard anything about cuts, just that there have been a lot of legacies this year. I'm pretty old and far removed from college and don't know many "on the inside". I have a few daughters of friends going through or newly on the other side so I have enjoyed "catching up" with the process again.

So glad to hear more women are sticking with the process! It's so hard to explain to someone so young that they need to keep their mind open and that sorority life is really up to them, no matter the house.

BID DAY!!!!! I'm trying to get an idea of this year's quota #s, but so far no luck.
