Good Luck to your UT rushee! Is she a legacy to any house? this is my daughters first year "on the other side" and she claims they have information on tons of girls! At least thank God, it will not be as HOT as it was last year. One girl actually had heat stroke in the party and had to be taken out! keep us posted, and good luck on move in day at the dorm! Have a lot of coffee that morning-you'll need it!

Thanks Tennesseemom! My daughter is so, so excited! We leave Friday and move in starts at 8 a.m. Saturday morning! Rush begins that night at 7 p.m. with Orientation. What a day! I'll try and keep you posted...however, I don't want to disclose too much information. I want it to be a great rush for her. She's got an open mind and a great attitude. Just pray the weather stays pleasant!

Tennessee's recruitment week kicks off today with "Go Greek" round.
Weather should be pleasant.

our neighbors daughter went to go greek today- high energy she said! Every chapter she visited was great- looks like it will be a tough choice this year for the girls. any news on the number of PNM going through this year?

Anyone hear the number of girls going through at UT? Any update on how today's parties went? Anxiously awaiting news from our girls!

Volalum, your neighbor's daughter has the right attitude. Every chapter there is a good one. I went through with the attitude that at least one chapter would want me, and I wasn't disappointed.

I work near the campus, and when I'm arriving and leaving, I think how long a week it'll be for girls on both sides. Hard to believe it's been 20 years since my last recruitment. And I'm sooo glad I don't have to go through it all again! You don't have that kind of energy at 41!

I had heard around 900. Does anyone know what quota has been the past few years?

Silverblue · #25 08-18-2008, 11:45 PM

I think quota has been around 50-ish.

volalum · #26 08-19-2008, 04:32 PM

Silverblue!! 20 years ago.....try 38 years ago!! Still fun, and such an important part of growing up. No matter what the outcome- rush can prepare you for some of lifes ups and downs!

Zetabeta.. quota last year was 47. -900 seems up from last year- I want to say it was around 750 rushees last year. And if you do the math 13 sororities at 47 = 611 pledges....which would make almost 300 girls out,(if they start with 900) so hopefully quota will increase, if there are 900ish girls!

Our neighbor had another great day, but is anxious for the cuts before skit day.

ZetaBeta · #27 08-23-2008, 07:27 PM

Preference parties should be almost over....any updates on PNMs?

volalum · #28 08-23-2008, 09:21 PM

I have been waiting on an update from you zetabeta! How is your daughter doing? I haven't heard a thing- except that rush is going very well!

ZetaBeta · #29 08-23-2008, 09:34 PM

It's going very, very well! I hope to have a good report tomorrow afternoon!

kendr · #30 08-24-2008, 02:32 PM

Today is Bid Day. Quota was 46, and all 13 sororities made quota, and most made quota plus!
