recruitment numbers

by: Pnm

So I saw an article this morning about how sorority pnms are going to be about 2,100 this year, but I also heard that registrations are lagging behind a bit from last year. How many girls do you think will go through recruitment?

Online registration doesn't even close until August 8th and the website says girls can register in person on the 9th at Convocation. Just a guess, but I'd say there'll be in the neighborhood of 2250-2300. Numbers have been increasing every year at SEC schools. Didn't Bama have to add an extra day to recruitment last year when 2000 rushed? I might be thinking of another school, but seems like it was Bama. Hopefully most PNMs are already registered and had their recs sent in. Again going by the website, it's suggested they be sent by July 15th. I personally know a lot of alumnae (a lot of people in my family are Greek) who have been crazy busy sending recs to Bama sororities in the last few weeks.

I think the extra day (a philanthropy day) added was actually at Ole Miss. I could be wrong, though

It's an extra skit day. They already had 2 philanthropy days.

With that many PNMs, you can see why the sororities want the recs there several weeks before recruitment starts!

I feel so bad for all the actives who have to go through that many recs... At most, it'll be +4,000 recs. That's insane

Resgistration is down 20% and given that recs are to be in by the 15th ... Not many register after the fact

I expect registrations to skyrocket over the next few days, but they won't stop completely on the 15th. They'll keep coming, at a slower rate, and then there will be a jump a couple of weeks before recruitment. And the usual dozen or so who register the day before...and the usual dozen or less who either withdraw or don't show up.

Is there any way to see how many girls are registered or is that active/alum classified info?

But numbers are definitely down. Which is surprising since Alabama has the largest incoming class in history. Largest "Northern" class also. Maybe, they dont think being Greek is worth the money or aggravation.
