I think that's it exactly. I also thought Anderson Cooper gave it the serious treatment it so richly deserved.
I should disclose that I have a huge crush on Anderson, so I may have a bias.

Does anyone know recruitment for Delta Gamma works?
Does a PNM who is going through recruitment have to withdraw before interviewing with DG?
Will DG be taking quota?
Thanks!

Yes, many of us do.
Yes, should not be participating in formal recruitment while interviewingx with Delta Gamma.
No, they will be taking average chapter size, which will be determined after formal recruitment but somewhere around 260.
Go to www.deltagamma.org for more detailed information regarding dates and to sign up for an interview.
Or, you could just talk with the Greek Life office at UA....

DG is conducting interviews while FR is still taking place? Is that normal? I thought, in most colonizations I'd heard of, they began interviews after FR.

I got a postcard to thank me for my recs, and it said interviews will be Aug 18-25. Then they will have an invite-only pref event on Aug 27. Bid day is Aug 28.

This is what I heard as well. I understood that it's OK for a woman to go through FR and then NOT sign a pref card. Let her go through the process and make sure those houses are not her home FIRST, and then withdraw and continue on with DG's interview process.

Due to the large number of women who will go thru the colonization process, they are interviewing both weeks. During FR, they are interviewing those who signed up only for the colonization (they are many) and any women who drop out of FR.
They've been told to expect several hundred women to interview so they've set it up this way to handle them all.

It's always been allowed to do this everywhere. No one can force you to sign one if you don't want to do so.

Of course, but I was just clarifying. What you said below made it sound like (to me, anyway) that if someone wants to be considered for DG colonization, they should not be participating in FR at all. Which is not the case.

I know what you meant, but I wanted to make sure others did as well.

Thank you for the information!
We have a hometown girl going through. Hoping she finds the right fit. When I asked about DG she was unsure about the process. And for some reason thought they were only taking 60 girls?
Our hometown is filled with DG alumni!
I told her to ask the Rho Chi.
(This is almost as bad as when my own child went through recruitment!)

Thanks for the link to the Anderson Cooper video. I too have a crush on him!
The Bama video was cute and they were having fun without taking themselves too seriously. Personally I would have just kept it inhouse for the PNMs. I saw the KD video yesterday, but can't find it today. It was cute, but much too long. They repeated themselves quite a bit.

Oh I forgot, really wish we were getting more info on Bama recruitment. Inquiring minds (much nicer than nosey ) are dying to know.

I agree, We don't have any PNMs or Moms posting this year. Of course my daughter can't share anything, and the actives may not know any numbers anyway.
