I can understand what hollywin's talking about, though, because a chapter did something similar with me when I rushed. It's not an outright "we won't pledge you if you're not _______," it's just a very clear "we are all _______ and that is one of the things I love about this chapter." The chapter that this happened with for me then cut me right before prefs, and I didn't understand why they had bothered to keep me around when it was obvious that I didn't fit what they wanted in a new member.

Highly doubtful. Number invited to prefs often = number appearing on their bid list, which sensitive info which houses don't often go around offering up voluntarily.

I almost wish I stayed because seeing all the girls in their bid day t-shirts makes me so sad! I always imagined I would join a sorority, but no one in my family ever has, so I am not a legacy. I met a few KD girls last year and was even told by them that i would "definitely" get in-- i had my hopes up and was cut by KD second round.

Does anyone know about UGA's spring recruitment?? Or how the sororities feel about sophmores who rush?

Hi PNM, I pledged Gamma Phi in the spring of 1999. I loved it - it was so much more relaxing and "real" than fall rush. The way it works is that not every house participates in spring rush. If the sorority does not reach quota in the fall or happens to have new members drop out, then they may participate in spring rush and accept whatever number will allow them to keep a full membership. I believe those are the only reasons the sorority would do spring rush, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I will be honest, the very traditional sororities are sometimes known to penalize sophmores because rush is so competitive and it's just one more reason they can use to further the process of elimination. However, that's not to say that if you happened to become friends with women in a particular group or groups and were interested in being recruited by those houses, those genuine connections and friendships would most certainly help you out.

I hope this helps. Feel free to holler if you have other questions.

Also if a chapter loses girls to mid-term graduation and is still under chapter total....

Hi, Does anyone know the number of legacies each sorority took? Is that info available anywhere? Also did anyone find a list of recruits & hometowns like Auburn Greek Life posts? Love to know about local girls.

Melon Girl,
Could there be an error on the DDD number by some chance? I spoke with an advisor this morning and she told me that Tri-Delta had 56 new members. I double checked the number with her again and she said 56. She was thrilled with the class, especially since there were several legacies who accepted bids.

melongirl,

I thought you said quota was 52? ::

Yes. As ugadg posted, they are now up to 43. But this is the only "official list" I got, so its a start. Feel free to update as you get your updates!!

That's what I was told last night by a rush advisor!! Then I got this email forwarded from Greek Life! I'm not trying to mislead anyone... just passing along info as I get it.

That's what a lot of us thought. That was the info posted in the AGD forum by a very reliable source.

I am very sorry if, in fact, KD sisters told you this. This is very much against NPC rules, and I am very disappointed that they would say this to you. I hope your future Greek experience goes well for you, though!!! Please do not take this as a common experience from the KD sisterhood.

I apologize if this was posted before. I just saw it and thought others might have missed it. UGA posted a list!
