Oh what a cluster that was! I tried to find the thread about it.

how did I miss that thread?

That's not deltazetataualpha! That happened at Jacksonville State and that was how the event was advertised. The PNMs got there and both sororities were there but surprise, bids were only available from one.

I tried to read it.... It was quite the cluster and I couldn't get through it lol.

On the other hand congrats to everyone who got through this week successfully!

Here’s the informal recruitment page from the IU website - they do have the additional information there. Besides the form and the list of chapters doing informal, it does give the dates of events for the two groups doing open invite events, plus the specific contact email addresses for all the groups doing informal. There’s also a note that Alpha Chi Omega is no longer extending bids.

I couldn't reach the exact site from your link, but clicked-on to the blue-hilited IU panhellenic google site it suggested instead to get through.

ETA: Okay, your link works now, thank you.

Oops - fixed the link. It should work now.

AOII is no longer extending bids either

Alpha Delta Pi and Theta Phi Alpha have also stopped extending bids, per the website.

In case anyone was wondering - here is the data for recruitment this year:

Total PNMs Registered for Recruitment: 1918
Total PNMs Attending Open Invite Round: 1647
Total PNM Withdrawals from Recruitment Rounds: 391
Total PNMs Participated in Bid Matching: 1253
Total PNMs that did not receive a bid (All chose to Single Intentional Preference and were not matched): 73
Total PNMs Receiving Bids: 1188
Median chapter size after recruitment: 205
Quota: 56

The dropping/withdrawals are much less than I thought. It looks like a successful recruitment.

I was told (although I don’t see it written down) that everyone that SIPed and was not matched WAS offered a snap bid to sonewhere

If 1253 signed a MRABA and 73 SIPed and were not matched, that would leave 1180 bids; but would the 1188 Bids Received number then indicate that eight women accepted a snap bid? Or that only 8 of the 73 were offered a snap bid?

73 snap bids were offered? :eek: If that was the case, then not many accepted?
