D Phi E Rushes - how are we doing?

[shadokat]

Hey ladies! I know in the rush forum, there's a lot of talk about rushing, but none of these women are going through rush at schools with D Phi E. How are your chapters doing? Have you done recruitment? How many new members have you got? I need to hear how well we're doing :)

[DPhiE205]

Hey!

Just to let you know, we won't be rushing (formal) untill spring '02. Numberwise, we have about 25 sisters. (We're rather small, but we intend to get lots of new members)
I hope this helps. When spring rolls around, I'll keep you updated!

Kristen--

What chapter are you at? What school? What sororities are there at your school?

I wish you the best with rush in the spring.

YITS,

Hey!

i probably should have mentioned that when i orignally posted.
I'm from the Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw Georgia. Being a somewhat smaller commuter campus, we only have two NPC sororities, DPhiE and Phi Mu.
There is a possiblity that we might expand, but it probably won't occur for a few more years. Thanks for the well wishes!

YITS,
Kristen

[bcdphie]

UBC recruitment doesn't start til the 18th, so I will let you know more in a few weeks.

[stacydphie]

New Paltz is starting on Wednesday, classes start today - wow they move much faster on that campus then they did when I was in school! We usually had a week or two to be back at school before rush started.

[texas*princess]

Formal Recruitment for the [future] DPhiE colony will begin this Sunday!! The ladies are all excited!

Also, I just recently updated their website!

[texas*princess]

Yay! Congrats to the Kappa Colony!

Formal Recruitment events are as follows:

Sun. 9/15 - Round 1 - Mandatory Meeting with the Rho Chi's (although I am not sure what they are going to call them at TAMUK.. that school has not had formal recruitment in a long time) Then the groups will visit all 3 sororities (Theta Phi Alpha Colony, [future] DPhiE colony, and Psi Theta Upsilon (local sorority)

Mon. 9/16 - Round 2 - Philantrophy - (invitational)All groups will meet with the three sororities again.. all meetings are 30 minutes each

Wed. 9/18 - No Events

Thurs. 9/19- Round 4 - This day, all the sororities will have an hour. It's not called "Preference Night" so I am not sure how the Greek Office is going to hold it? I will find out from one of the girls and let you know! Then the PNM's will sign their bids, and bid matching will be done.

Fri. 9/20 - Bid Day!

[Peaches-n-Cream]

Congratulations and best wishes to all the chapters and colonies that are having recruitment. I am so excited for all of you, too! :cool: :D :)

[A Random DphiE]

i posted this already under the UM Recruitment thread, but i have to make sure you all know that i just heard that D phi E's Omega Chapter @ UM picked up 51 AMAZING women!!! Congratulations to all......Hopefully our numbers will match as well!!!

[texas*princess]

:eek: Wow! 51? That is excellent!!! Congrats!!!

the tamuk ladies begin the recruitment process tonight.. i will keep everyone posted as soon as i get the information!!!

this is a little off-topic, but does anyone know if a Delta Phi Epsilon chapter ever existed at the University of North Texas?

I was just wondering because that is where I am attending school now. I love everything Delta Phi EPsilon stands for and would love to try to start a sisterhood here! If anyone has any information, I would greatly appreciate it!

[shadokat]

tp-

No chapter has existed at North Texas. I know that a chapter was at UT-Austin years ago.

Good luck :)

[Denise_DPhiE]

Incorrect Shadokat. The Phi Zeta chapter existed at UNTD in the early 1970's. TexasPrincess, I was at Kingsville for round 1 and I spoke to the girls about who you were and where you attend college. Please IM me so I can discuss your current campus with you further. As far as recruitment #'s at TAMUK, 32 girls were there for round 1 (which was lower than expected ) but a lot were stuck out of town due to flooding I am told. It is possible they will let girls start recruitment tonight but if not, we are looking at quota being between 8-10 max, the rest of the women will need to be picked up in COB so that we can get to 25 to colonize. Our women did an amazing job. I am very proud of them!!!

Oops, sorry :) The list I saw didn't have UNT on it!! Anyways, good luck to TAMUK!!! I saw a guy that plays for the Eagles is from TAMUK!

[texas*princess]

Congratulations to the DPhiE's @ FAU !!!
They did very well @ recruitment! :D

[Iris]

FAU got quota, which was 21....That's the unofficial word!! They are the newest of the four sororities on the campus and just chartered a few weeks ago.

Watch out world.......DPhiE is ON!!!!

Iris :cool: :D

[texas*princess]

The ladies of Texas A&M Univesrity Kingsville have no recruitment events this evening, however thier Pref Night will be tomorrow, and the girls have promised to let me know the outcome on Bid Day (Friday)!

[Denise_DPhiE]

Even better! Quota was 21 and only one group got quota - US! and we got 2 more women (either quota additions or snap bids, not sure). I spoke to one of our council members today who confirmed it!

Denise_DPhiE

[fire1977]

Tomorrow starts Eta chapter's recruitment. I'm really looking forward to it! I'll keep you posted!
Epsilon Omicron got quota and Phi Gamma did really well considering this is the first year that they have done formal recruitment in quite a few years!!

[texas*princess]

fire1977,
best of luck to the Eta chapter ! :)

[Denise_DPhiE]

It is only 7:48am in Kingsville TX right now, just 7 hours after bid matching..I got a voice mail from our chapter consultant that we took Quota+1 for a total of 10 new women last night!!!

This brings their total to 19 amazing women and they will COB over the next few weeks to at least 25 women. Colonization is scheduled for October 12.

I am sooo proud of them!

Alpha Chi chapter got 7 girls from recruitment!!! There was no quota, but 50 girls went through the process, and there are 10 sororities, so that would mean quota would've been 5. Way to go to my girls!!!! :)

YAY!!! I'm soooooooo proud of those ladies! Crystal emailed me and said she would take a million pictures and send them to me. As soon as I recieve them I am scanning them and posting them to their website!!!!

As soon as Bid Day ceremonies are over, I am expecting a call from Crystal!

I'm so excited for them and wish I could be there with them

[A Random DphiE]

The Alpha Gamma chapter JUST finished thier pref night a few minutes ago... we had 3 rather than 2 rotations to due to the overwhelming amount of women who ranked us 1 or 2!!! I can't wait for tomorrow.....BID DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Look for an update on Saturday's Bid Day results!!*

[Peaches-n-Cream]

YEAH!!! Way to go!!!!

Where is upstate for an update?

I just read that and it sounds funny. :)

[A Random DphiE]

Only three of the six sororities on the FIU campus met quota earlier today....and DphiE was one of them!!!! Not only did the Alpha Gamma Chapter pick up 42 amazing women, we did not go below our top 45!!! We were so overwhlemed at bid day as we received these women into our chapter of 56!!! As i spoke to a few of our New Members this afternoon, they confessed that they had SUICIDED DphiE because they could not picture themselves anywhere else!! I'm sooooooo estatic!!!
*I wish everyone much luck with thier New Member Clasess!*

[texas*princess]

I have heard from the ladies at Texas A&M University Kingsville that they picked up the most *~amazing~* women at recruitment this last week!

They will be holding COB events to meet [or exceed] the 25 member requirement for colonization~!

I will be getting pics soon and will post them to their website for everyone to see!

edited to include: I just got word that chapter total will be 35, so the ladies may continue to hold COB events until they reach that number if they choose to!

[Iris]

You, once again and again, have shown all of us just how awesome you are!!! Congrats on such a super recruitment! I am just so very sure that those potential new members couldn't resist being a part of such an incredibly dynamic and powerful group of women.............so glad you all are sisters in DPhiE!!!

Iris

[shadokat]

Way to go FIU!!! Congrats on a fabulous recruitment :)

Alpha Alpha at West Chester got 19 new members last night at bid day!! Way to go to AA!! :)

[AOX81]

The Beta Zeta Chapter at the University of Michigan-Flint has four new members!

[Upstate*DPhiE*]

Hey everyone... my chapter has 12 new memebers.. sorry I haven't written in a while.. it has been crazy here since I've been back

YITS,
Ilana

[texas*princess]

I have heard from the ladies @ TAMUK and they said COB events had great turnouts! (The first event had an attendance of about 30 girls.. which is almost equal to the number of ladies who went through formal recruitment!)

They will be holding an Invitational Dinner tomorrow and will be inviting 11 women to attend. Of the 11 women, the women who choose to attend will recieve a bid to join. If all 11 women attend and accept bids, their total size will be 30!

Their colonization will be held this weekend! I wish I could be there with them!

Great job!!!!! Congratulations! Thanks for the update, upstate. ;) Welcome back.

[A Random DphiE]

Congratulations!!!! It makes me extremely PROUD to see our chapters growing! :D I am ESTATIC to hear about the success of the ladies in Texas!! Good Luck with your New Members!!!

[south texan]

Colony Mu began with 9 women, became 19 through formal recruitment, and after COB we are a strong 27. We are going to continue recruitment until we hit our maximum which is 35.

[cleo]

hey

our chapter only has 14 sisters and some inactive ones, and we started out with 10 new members now we only have 7. what can we do to get more in the Spring?

[LPIDelta]

Cleo,
I've sent you a PM.

Hope its helpful info.

[shadokat]

My question cleo would be, why did you lose those 3 NMs?

[jillybean123]

After a very devestating formal recruitment we are initiating 9 fabulous girls tonight!! This is one of the best nm classes we have gotten and i am so excited!!! Jill Psi

[fire1977]

Congrats Jill!!!! Just keep on trying!!!!

[dphies00]

Hey - Congratulations Psi! 9 new members is phenomenal! I know that COBing can be so hard sometimes - it taking us forever to get the hang of it. I remember you guys from Convention and its awesome to hear your hard work is paying off! Keep it up!

And... not to toot Eta's horn but we are PSYCHED to welcome 4 wonderful women to the Winter 2002- 2003 New Member class! (I'm surprised Fire didn't break the new herself! Hehehe...) This is the first winter new member class we've taken since 1994 and the first winter class any sorority has taken as long as I've been at Pitt (which is forever I'm beginning to feel like!).

A funny story - one of the new members of Fall 2002 is on Pitt's Dance Team. The first football game after rush, we made her a sign that said "D Phi E loves Courtney!" on one side and "GO PITT!" on the other. We got to the game early and had the whole sorority and the new members right up front. We were on the Jumbotron three times! Well that's how 2 members of the Winter new member class found out about us - when the got back to campus, they looked up the chapter's wesbite, liked what they saw, and emailed us, asking about recruitment. Who says PR isn't going on 24/7/365? LOL

[fire1977]

It didn't even occur to me, I was so out of it last week and I even went to your ceremony!!! lol...Great Job L, you guys are awesome!!!

[EGDeepher]

I'm happy to announce that we initiated 2 new sisters this past Wed. Since we can not pledge freshman in the fall, our formal rush will begin Jan 15. We're hoping to get around 12 new members.
